Axle in and hanging!Finally!
Quote from: Flyin6 on May 01, 2019, 10:55:05 PMAxle in and hanging!Finally!This may be a dumb question but I’m gonna ask it anyway. With the u-bolt flipped, is there any chance of those nuts backing off and causing trouble on a remote trail somewhere? With the exception of welding tables everything you build looks heck for stout has built in fail safes. I guess my real question is, for Murphy’s sake, would another nut torqued down on top of those u-bolts hurt anything? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Since u bolts aren’t supposed to be reused it couldn’t hurt to put a little tack weld on themSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
And to add to Shawn's commentaryI saw stretchin' happenin' all over that bolt when I put the electric "twister" on those nutz.AndTalking to Tater just now, I have a disconnect on my axles fittingStock 14 bolt chevy axles are 30 spline 1.5" diameterMutant axle axles are 35 spline 1.5"I have installed a 35 spline Yukon DuragripThe mutant axles were made to fit the mutant sized hubs with a 5" diameter "hub"Stock Chevy 14 bolt hubs are 4.482" in diameterSo, my mutant axles are going to have to have their hubs cut down and redrilled to workAnother hurtle!
At least when you swap an LB7 in there you won’t have to redo the rear.....So do the wheels fit over that hub?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Don, what are the specs on the shocks? Wonder if they’d fit my truck?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Co-worker of mine has a 6.5” BDS lift on a Duramax. If they don’t fit for Ryan you can pm me a price and I’ll see if he wants them. He was talking about replacing shocks last week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need a part numba?If your truck is lifted more than 4", they would likely work, but if stock height, no way.
Don, not complaining but when you retire GLO won’t be hiring & putting you in charge of packaging / shipping. That box I got the other day appeared to have been in combat and dropped out of one of them aircraft you used to fly on final approach. After examining it I have a present to send along with you when you visit the shop this summer.....
