I like the tx-10 idea. Keeps cost down.

I've seen Mile Markers literally explode.

 

Sure hope it was a fluke...

Mine seem to be holding up. *crosses fingers* Had trouble with the bolts coming loose when in 4wd though. After a few wheelin trips went to go lock the hubs and noticed one bolt holding it on, the rest were gone. Over torqued with locktite hoping they stay snug.

I just did it with the moog jgc coils and the only thing really is getting jack stands high enough so you can drop the axle far enought below the truck. If you dont have blocks you can just remove the wheels to get the extra drop.

Should I get new torsion bars like these: http://www.calmini.com/detail.php?b=1&m=3&t=2&p=626&n= or reindex? I'm looking for better ride quality........ and to make more room in the front for bigger tires!

4-5 cranks will typicaly get you where you wanna be. If it sags back down then get new torsion bars or re index. You want at least 1/2-3/4 inches between the upper bump stops though.

I'm happy with my adventuro M/T's, I beat em on rocks and branches. Still lookin good minus some chunking from the rocks. I thought they would be wearing quicker because of the cheap price but they still look new after 7k miles. $505 mounted and balanced.

T-45 torx bit worked perfect. Think it might have cost me the bit though. Gonna be hard to get it back out after the 3lb sledge . Its worth it though. Thanks all.

 

Funny thing is it still took a 1/2 inch breaker to get it free.

[Tips on removing stripped allen bolt?]

Hi all,

 

I was getting ready to change out my auto locking hubs for manual. It seems whoever touched the hubs last over torqued the allen bolts. After twisting up 3 allen wrenches to break them all free. The very last bolt head stripped on me(of course the last one!). So now I have one bolt preventing me from doing the swap. Was gonna try vise grips but it seems like I won't get much bite on the head of the bolt.
