well i spent the last 3 hours pulling my rear axle out , got it out and proceeding to remove the leaf springs , will post more pics up tonight

 

[WNY964x4]

posted new pics , i installed my first shackle mount and belltech shackle and..............i have to remove my exhaust i think , it looks like when i put everything back in it will hit , if anyone has the 6400 shackles installed , can you please post a pic of what the look like when they are in

disconnecting everything

axle out

count the leaves

driver side leaf and rear axle

broken shackle , explains why the driver side rear was sagging

all out

to put a face with a name , me with my truck

starting to look normal again

sitting on its own wheels

the differential

after cranking the t-bars , obviously not enough lift in the front

damn I might think twice about flooring it at a seagull or crow next time lol

Nice looking truck keep it up man

well i got it all together today , took it for a spin , engaged the 4wd and guess what.................the truck started jerking and bucking and the tires were screeching against the pavement , the guy sold me an axle with the wrong F***ING gears , so now i have 3.73's in the front and something like 3.08's in the back , so now i have to buy a 3.73 ring and pinion for my rear axle , gonna try to get some of my money back to help offset the cost of the gears

and i cranked my torsion bars to the max almost and it wasnt enough , so next after the gears is torsion bars and keys
