how far forward did the 44044's move your front axle?

comin along nicely!

i believe about 1"-1 1/2". just enough to clear the fire wall. im not really sure though, works real nice though. dont know why i didnt do it in the first place.

Hey man, your truck is lookin' cool. I like the way you did your bed, im not much for flat beds but I like it.:awesomework: Your truck also flexes pretty good too!:cheer:

Your rear is definitely flexing more than mine. I guess I just need more runs on it. To be honest, I haven't got as many trips in on this setup as I would have liked. My frontend seems to be about the same. :awesomework:

What length shocks do you have in the rear. Do you like your Bilsteins?

oldbeercans · Mar 31, 2008

i really like the bilsteins ,thought they would be to stiff but not at all. in the rear im runnin rsx9000 adjustables and i believe they are about 13"

got bored today

Thats alot of mud flap going on there....

oldbeercans · Apr 1, 2008

ya the way i had them before i had a huge hole. dont want to get hasseled so ya thats alot of mudd flap.

oldbeercans · Apr 1, 2008

also today in the midst of my bordum i noticed that my pan gasket is leaking and my front axle makes some wierd poping noises. sounds like **** is breaking. im hopeing its just the quick lock. i have 30spline longs and hubgears, and everything in the axle is fresh. maybe this is typical for quick locks but i dont like it. i dont have a rear drivline in right now so maybe its to much stress for the quick lock. under heavy acceleration on dry asphalt all of the sudden the drivers side tire feels like it disengages and makes noises like **** is coming apart. maybe its just a quicklock but dont like the sounds it makes. any ideas

oldbeercans · Apr 2, 2008

changed the pan gasket tonight. thats about it. helped a buddy do some surgery on a jeep.:booo: pretty sure im going to revamp the mudflaps. i cant stand them and dont know what i was thinkin.

London Gentleman · Apr 2, 2008

We all do weird things at times, but that all gets fixed. I'd cut the flaps to the center line of your axle, and if ya get hassled tell the 5-0 you'll fix it. I dont know what to say about the problem in your front end but I think you should pull it back apart and inspect. And while your in there swap out the Quick lock for an Aussie. Thats just my opinion though.
