wannabeMJ Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 finaly getting time and money to do this ....... I need to shorten my D-shaft from this: lwb,_2.8,____ax5-ax4,______np207,____d35= 54.75" to: lwb,_4.0,____ax15-ba10/5,__np231,___d35= 50" and I have a 4.5" lift from what I read, it should be an inch longer then the 50" indicated above so shorten to 51" right??? the answer to that is 50.25'' had it done this monday fitted perfectly on now time to change the oil in the diff and the t-case putting winter tires on adjusting the track bar and that damn windshield and it will be about time for a road test hopefully the weather will be allowing me to work on the truck hopefully above the 0°C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabeMJ Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 with the temperature giving me a hand right now.............. :huh???: finaly above the 0°C I was able to work on the truck without to much break to warm me up got to open the diff (well the front one) to check the gears and change the oil the gears look great no metal shrapnel in the oil the oil was bad but changing it anyway so I hope the rear diff will be as good as the front one when and got my starter tested today and its burned so Ill probably buy a set of brush on ebay and rebuild it unless its seaze then itll be going to the JY and get me an other one I don't wanna go that option right now there's like 3 feet of snow there :fs2: so that's it for now and until the weekend I'm building my budy's bassement this week (money for parts) and 2 hockey game on the schedule so I won't have much time to work on the truck have a good week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire4755 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 This is an incredible build man. any advise to someone who is also puting the 4.5" kit on but I'm only gonna run 33s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeMJ Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 before you buy your kit know that youll have to change other parts to track bar brake lines bump stops and that's only a few the next step after the install will be to check for proper gearing to run 33'' look for ''diff gears'' in the search option youll gets lots of info on the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
