one axle has wires running into the backing plates for the sensors. If you go back few pages you'll see I actually installed the wrong axle at first and had it all hooked up before noticing that.
yeah mine is also the rear rear axle slid forward without rotating it around, I put the shackle end of the spring towards the back of the truck and spun the brake cans and they cleared. I then added the 1/2" thick steel plate to the bottom of spring perch for little extra peace of mind but had...
harley- I can take a few for you within day or two when i get back down to my parents house where truck is kept right now.I will tell you they are the part that stumped me and had me worried when I was first trying to get axle under truck but it turned out to be pretty easy to do after caging...
I still have the 425/65R22.5's for front but had already sold the duals off truck before finishing the bob, thats why I had the 425's in the back squeezed on wrong size rims lol. I had planned to keep a set of the 11r20's to switch out on truck but had no luck selling them individual so sold all...
Rick, yeah I only know of 1 or 2 there is a gentleman on here with a truck he call infidel that is crew cab 923 if you search using that name I'm sure it will come up lol.
I just wanted to post few pics of truck basically done,only major piece left is 2 rear shock mounts then just needs some...
I was going to go higher at first but after measuring truck on level concrete it was already bit higher in rear than front so i didnt want it to look like some trucks with tail high up in air. I decided on the 1/2 plate since I had a piece laying around and had enough threads on U-bolts to just...
Ok so I got the bedsides both cut/welded and installed yesterday along with a .5" solid plate spacer for rear springs before deciding it was way too hot out.
yeah these pics are all at my parents house out in countryside I live on outskirts of town on dead end rd but still had problem with people turning me in for working on my house then problems with permits, then town says ok for one thing county says no etc. so I decided to keep truck at parents...
eh I dunno about almost done with it lol atleast all the big stuff is done, now I'm going to be doing some smaller stuff like cutting down bed sides (finally got my welder gas bottle filled) adding mud flaps, sealing cab up little better,moving batteries etc etc lol
I honestly dont know if the tires would even hit the bed, I have same bump stops in back as up front so I only have few inches of up travel, also the way I cut bed was I cut all the length out of the front of bed then just re-attached the headboard so the large crossmember that was between the...
I got rid of original setup but I do know they were wider spring and truck is already pretty heavy sprung in rear since springs are 5 ton fronts. The frame is actually nose down just a bit but with the larger front wheel wells it makes rear look like its sagging. (same springs and mounts front...
Yeah I will be adding a block to rear anyhow since it sits little nose high right now, lockouts would be nice but at the price I dont think I'll ever have a set. I will say truck turns so much shorter now that its bobbed its amazing.
Finally got my last michelin mounted up and got them on truck, took from 8am to 3pm lol. I had to have my dad use a 4 foot bar and a pipe wrench on the socket while I used impact with 2 air hoses T'd into it to get lug nuts off front. I really need to get wheels painted but thats for another...
on the rear axle you do not have to spin it and depending on your truck you may not have to remove it, I have seen few 923's with the abs sensors on the intermediate axle and so I thought I would just pull rear most one out however my abs was on rear axle. If your abs is on the rear axle like...
Yeah I have seen 6.0's blow the one head gasket without the engine temp ever showing anything over normal operating temps, i think when the cooler clogs you get a hot spot at one or two cylinders but not enough for the gauge to show since the rest are still normal. i will say i dont think it...
I'm actually finishing up the wheels/tires swap and need to bolt the rear shock mounts on before I can drive it again. I can tell you pulling 5 395s off rims swapping beadlock inserts and remounting 5 16.00's on those rims is a pretty big task for 2 people (me and my dad). I plan to drive it a...
will post better pics for sure my cell is outdated and takes horrible pics lol I like front bumper idea also but I need to mount up my 16.00's first to see if it would clear them.
