No not yet, I've been trying to figure out a game plan. I'm a rook still

Hopefully should have it ready for after the Thanksgiving weekend.

In light of recent events I've decided to change the writing on this tail light.

It will now read "RIP Chance", the other will remain the same for all the parts he sold us for cheap off of Brittney. Farewell buddy.

well done Mike.

That's a good idea Mike. Not to thread jack... butI can't believe what I just read.

truck's lookin good.

if you need to 'channel' me,you know where to find me.

and on the vibration,take a look at your driveshaft.i'm assuming you still have the two piece shaft in there,you lifted the rear-the center bearing needs to be dropped.if both driveshaft sections aren't in perfect alignment with each other,you'll get exactly what you described-a vibration under load that reduces when the load reduces.

the f350 has a three piece shaft-it took a bit of work to get the vibrations out.i should get a pic looking down the length of the shafts.

Thanks gwaii, over the next little bit expect some PM's because I'd like to bounce some ideas off you as I build if it's alright.

Funny that you mention the driveshaft because I went underneath the truck the other day to stare at the water pump and I saw the rubber bushing part of the carrier bearing was cracked and loose. I'm looking at sourcing a steel 1-piece. From what I read the aluminum shaft are bigger around requiring more trimming and the flange on the tcase end is different. But I'm in the right place to locate this stuff.

 

[MountainMike]

Just outsourced a single peice steelie, no idea when it will be up here but woot!

right on man. It was such a nice difference when I swapped mine out for a one piece. Make sure you cut plenty off your gas tank skid...I ended trimming my skid on 4 different occasions as I flexed more and more.

Yeah it should be sweet. 2 questions, did you go aluminum or steel? and did you just remove the carrier bearing crossmember?
