Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild

im sitting at 5" from the ground
tranny 5
first 3
bearing 0
second 13
pinion 0
the problem is my second driveshaft is at 13. i cant understand why!?

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild

Delmo made a nice spacer out of aluminum stock, I just used some square tubing...

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

I did the same thing on mine sorta. I saw your idea when it was on the rack at LT so I knew that I was gonna have to raise mine.;)

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

yes i used a 2inch squared block.
how tall are your wheels Jess?

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

im starting to think it may be the tire and rim size. thats bringing the pinion high.

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

Yeah, im a 205/75-15 its like 27.2"

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

ok thanks im hoping that would put me lower and help with the degress

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

let me know what you guys think should it be black or blue.

i should get the g78 this week. Next stop the exhuast.......

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

hmmm everybody has black or red not sure about the blue how about a gun metal grey or light grey with a black truck looks good :metal:

Re: S!ck5 65 rebuild
 

X2 a couple shades darker than the argent silver that comes on the rally wheels would look good. The blue, to me, will not go well with the exterior of your truck. Just my opinion.

Also are you gonna run hub caps or just plain steelies? And what kind of caps if you do? I'm gonna run these on mine when I go back to the steelies
