![]() My sig has always said 3.42! I figure I have it in my possession, so....... ![]() I got the cover off tonight, lube was clean and didn't stink. Well, didn't stink beyond normal gear lube stink. Confirmed they are 3.42's, 12 and 41 teeth. Cleaned the cover and put it back on, then cut off the spring pads and shock mounts. Tomorrow I'll take it outside and pressure wash it, then start grinding. ![]() I couldn't find enough wheel studs in town today, so I just bought new lug nuts.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Old rear is out, new one has all the brackets cut off and ground smooth. Removed the two lower springs (thick one, and the next longest) and made new locating bolts by turning the heads of shorter 3/8" bolts down on the lathe. The new rear has the spring perches marked. Heading to lunch with the kids now, and will finish it up when we get back.
Pic tonight. ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I took another measurement before we left. Axle flange to axle flange is 1" wider. I was measuring housing flange to housing flange.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
All done! I first took two leafs out, but that was too low. It was lower than the front. Only by 1/2" or so, but noticeable. So we put the thick bottom spring back in, and it sits perfect!!!
![]() Getting in the shower now, athen we are going to go over to Pierce to eat. I'll put up some pics tonight or in the morning. Test drive report coming in a few hours!! ![]() ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
You are right it sits perfect! How did the test drive go? Did the wider rearend drive any different than the stock?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
HOLY CRAP!! Night and day!!!!!! Rolling along at 20-25 and deck it, and it blows the tires off. It doesn't feel as squirrely going down the road either. I'm waaay happy now!
![]() Next up is to lower it a little more all around. Not much, 2"-3" tops. I'll do 2.5" spindles in the front, and I have a set of new stock front springs in the shed that I'll use and cut to adjust the final height. Then in the rear I'll just pull the large lower spring back out. That should put it just about perfect all the way around. Can you say permagrin!??!!?!!

Prove to us (and the world) that it will boil them from a roll. I don't know if I can believe it yet.
