Yes I think the gear puller is a good choice not like you can hurt anything at this point! If not and you have air then a air hammer and split it only thing is try not to hurt the stub may still be OK! looks like if you can find a 3/4 ton with a 10 bolt your 8 lug swap is looking great at this...
As far as fitting the rims yes still 22.5 and the width should not be a big deal. the hight diff mite be the catch mainly on the front. the 385's are about 41 or 42 '' tall depending on brand and the 445 are about 45'' tall but if you look and know the height difference look to see how much...
Have not had real good luck with off brand tools but depends on how you use it. if used properly will be OK I'm sure mine is a blue point got it from snap-on and has served me great for many years have had good and bad things from harbor-freight and northern hydraulics. a cheap tool most of the...
Either way you go 4 or 6 inch lift you will get about the same ride. skyjacker Soft- ride and tuff-country and there ez-ride springs that as the name applies will be a better ride . no pun intended as with rough country witch tend to be a bit on the harsh side of the ride. You can run 37 inch...
auto zone or other bigger auto parts stores will rent or lone you a harmonic balancer installer to use . Or you can get the bolt a bit longer and two large washers that will cover the hole on the new harmonic put a nut on it then threw the washers with a small bit of grease between the washers...

I know you said you checked the spring bushings may be worth a second look at the rear ones mostly with the stock rubber they will load when you turn the wheel when you get to lock or the wheel turns the bushing will unload and sound like a pop! look at the frame just above the bushing see if it...
When you go to buy lockouts you will be better to buy the premium hubs if possible. Ones with 3/4 or 1 turn better then the 1/4 turn. Glad nobody got hurt that could have been a bad trip.
The lift and big tires just makes for better stuck picture's Gives you that bigger ego that its bigger will go threw more witch it will .but now when you get stuck your not on the edge were its easier to hook the strap now your in the middle and more then knee deep in the muck! rofl
Yes it may be OK and even may last longer with diesel over gas . But a bit over kill for a diesel the Holley red pump would have been better and still a little over kill. as the 6.2 fuel pressure only needs to be about 7 psi may want to watch you do not blow a line that could get ugly as the...
Sorry but had to say it !!! I never get any GAS millage with mine. rofl But my fuel mileage is about 18 per gal. Sorry! I have heard allot say that about the cover and how it knocks down there mileage. My dad put a faring on his truck to help when he hauls his fifth wheel and left it on...
The cross member is because he used a 700r trans. He will have to get the brace and skid plate from something with the same combo he used! Should be easy to find or at least around here. unless the high scrap metal price has claimed most of the older stuff in his area. I HATE SCRAPPERS they take...
Just making memories! :beer: Better get it out while you still can find it! Remember if its been in water and mud with the front axle and hub's under the waters surface when you get it out may be a good time to remove lockouts and inspect, clean. As water and mud are not Friends with...
