88swampedmj Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 the tolerances were good.. i just put a little motor oil on the bearings to put it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhardzj Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 the tolerances were good.. i just put a little motor oil on the bearings to put it injust get it together fast if your using regular oil. Assembly oil would stay in place a bit longer, but if you make decent time, and not be careless, youll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88swampedmj Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 haha i thought the crossmember was good for now is there more you did for your front leaf conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 No, I actually didn't cut the crossmember out completely. It's still in there, just plated and covered so you can't see it. Try to make sure the frame is aligned decently straight when you weld your new one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
