I want to say its either an 8 or 10 degree angle on the top of the spacer? Im not really 100 percent sure.

Possibly one of the greatest posts in this thread

Get the story right Adam, I was NOT doing ANY grinding that night. I did not get the metal flake in my eye while working under the pathy but instead believe it was washed into my eye from my hair while taking my shower the next morning.....if you are going to say stuff than make sure the facts are straight. So everyone knows i went to the eye doctor and they numbed my eye and took out the flake which was lodged in my corea with tweasers, then air dusted the rust spot off the cornea....took awhile and the doc was getting pissed cause my reflexes would not cooperate....kinda hard not to close your eye when you see a sharp pair of tweasers coming at it.

What kingman said, these guys I work with are mechanics by profession, and build racecars as a hobby. They have nothing but the best stuff. Those jacks are stout, takes all of 5 pumps to jack up the truck that high. And they are super wide, thus very stable. The cup on the jack is around 5in wide also.

Come on people there has to be atelast another 10 people that have to say the same damn thing...go ahead you know you want to.

Jesus people talk about beating a dead horse. I was never actually directly under anything. If the truck were to fall, it would fall on the lower control arm and even then it would not come anywhere near hitting my body.

Yeah I was extremely relieved that it was not a big expensive repair!

Its fixed, we took pretty much the whole front axle and wheel assembly apart. We did this to check the bearings and such for play or broken parts. Took the boot off on the inner part of the cv and checked out the joint. That boot had been torn for quite awhile and I guess that this last mudding session just did it in, there were rocks and grit all inside the joint and next to no oil. When you spun the cv by hand two out of the three round bearings inside the joint were binding and popping...not turning at all. So this is what made the axle move and sound like crap. We went to orilleys and got another axle under warranty for free as well as new grease seals for the hubs, we also repacked inner and outer wheel bearings on both sides while we were at it. All in all cost around 12 dollars to do and a few hours. Tried out the 4wd in the lot and it worked like a charm....no odd noises or wobble. Here are some pics Time for new grease seals!!

Video of what is happening

I was off roading today not doing anything hardcore just going through some mud with not much wheel spin at all when I heard a strange sound and felt some weird shaking and popping noises. I was in 4hi at the time and when I was driving forwards and giving the truck gas it would kinda bind and sound terrible. So I had to get out of the mud and investigate. I unlocked my hubs and the noise went away along with the strange feeling. Crawled under the truck and with the hubs unlocked I could spin the driveshaft as per normal. Here is the issue, the drivers side cv spins right where it comes out from the diff which spins the cv and all that....the pass side does NOT spin at all. I mean from where the cv attaches to the flange on the diff....it does not spin. When I grab the cv itself I can spin it a bit until it binds on itself and is impossible to turn. So basically im asking wtf did I break? Im thinking that maybe the spider gear was the casuality. Im going to go take a video now of what im seeing.

Put on air intake......gain 50hp

Damn, I woulda sent you my stock heads and signals plus some cash if I knew you were going to get rid of the truck. But I bet that car is fast once VTec kicks in yo

I REALLY hope mine does not look like that

Mine is doing that now, its a combo of bad strut bearings....oh and a snapped upper passenger side camber bolt. Maybe I should get around to fixing that

Sticks out way to much for my tastes. But props for making something work!

Welcome to the club, you will get that alignment figured out soon enough....happens with every lift

Thats flipping SWEET! I always wanted to switch over racks but I fear that It may not fit in the garage anymore and im not too sure on how about to mount my lights to that. Def a cool mod though!

:Facepalm:

GAHHHHHH, makes me want to go and start wrenching on the truck.....I dont know what on but I WANT TOO!

But why would it take a major manufacturer like borla 15k to come up with an exhaust when any mom and pop shop can make one in a day for 300 bucks. Im sorry but seriously how hard can it be?

Im pretty sure we could make a custom exhaust for every single member on this board for less than 15,000 dollars. Thats just plain dumb. Id email him back and as if that price includes a reach around

Good deal man, glad you took some initiave in this!

And Done.
