SomeCrew

your right, they shouldnt have held the alignment together, but they did, there is soo much stress on the suspension components because of the tb crank, that they were holding the tires from buckling in. Now all thats holding them up is the bump stops until i get the spindles. Somebody does make 4wd...

SomeCrew

Update: Well coffee, I did keep them in, because I thought that would happen, so I kept both cups in, the shaft is just been cut off. Now, by doing this, and with the tb's so cranked, nothing (axles) are holding the tires from really cambering in, so both tires cambered in REALLLLY BADD! The fix for...

SomeCrew

Well, they arent really snapping, they are just coming completly apart and causing me not to be able to drive my vehicle. But we took care of that today.....no more axle period! Best ride I ever had!

Well, if I can get ahold of some batteries for my digi cam, i shall post pics this weekend..

SomeCrew

HAHAHAHAHAHA......new update. Put in the new axle. It lasted about a day, hahaha.....so we have new idea. We do new idea this weekend.

I'de like to thank Advanced Auto Parts for selling me a 75 dollar axle that lasted 1 whole day! Even the GM axle lasted longer than that!

SomeCrew

nah, front shaft assembly, driver side...

SomeCrew

Well now it will be a couple days more. I snapped my axle

..not a word henryj

SomeCrew

OK well I put the new ball joint on, but snapped a wheel stud (cross threaded at the tire place). So now I got to replace that monday or something, but I will try my best to get pics up from it this weekend.

SomeCrew

I will get the pics to you guys this weekend maybe, weather permitting. I have to replace an upper ball joint on the driver side to perfect the alignment problem, then I will take pics, this way the front tires are both facing up and down

SomeCrew

Kermit - I liked the Thornbirds all the way till the metal belt started showing :lol: :lol: Coffee - I dont know man, that sounds all good and all, but i dont think that even those will last with the way my axels are sitting. axel looks pretty much like this: -- \ \_ Also, I dont think they would ev...

SomeCrew

OK Im definetly doing this!

How great!

SomeCrew

Welcome!

SomeCrew

Ok, they will be goin on tomorrow, would have been today, but FedEx decided to give me only 3 yesturday, the 4th will be here today.

Pics will be up, though, dont worry.

SomeCrew

He liked my idea best

SomeCrew

Brillo Pad? Removes rust and soaps them up real nice

SomeCrew

Well, of course, I had cv boot issues, still am, so I bought aftermarket upper control arms of fix the stance as best i could. Now im workin on gettin better axles with superlifts aftermarket cv boots. After that, I will see how things go. All in all I am happy with it so far. I STILL have these cra...

SomeCrew

You know I have been here every day since I joined and noone ever come on here anymore!!

No wait.....

Reverse that...

SomeCrew

Actually, you both are right, they all start with "Hold my beer and watch this" ^_^

SomeCrew

Well I have absolutely no idea about the wax, never done it, never want to... However with the tire shine. I have been through MANY different tire shine products, and the best that I have EVER found is Advanced Auto's own brand. As cheap an cheasy as this might sound, this stuf works like magic!. Th...

SomeCrew

Haha, nah, I'm gonna run this s-10 till it dies baby!

SomeCrew

All sorts of lift on mine, kept the brush guard. I dont like I needed any modifications on it, but I dont remember either, so...

SomeCrew

Thanks for the welcome backs, i will stop by and post, but no very often.

About the encoder, where is it located? can i replace myself? price?

SomeCrew

Hey guys, I know its been a while, and I apolgize for it, I have been so busy lately that i havent had much time for even sleep. Anywho, I am having a problem where if I kick my truck into 4wd, and kick it back it stick half way between 2wd and 4wd.It doesnt happen everytime, just sometimmes. Could ...

SomeCrew

No, havent had time to go looking for one yet, I have been EXTREMLY busy these past couple of days. I havent even had time to check out this site in a few days.

SomeCrew

Ok, so every morning when I start my truck up, it starts up, but hesitates before starting, it turns over with no problem, just has a little hesitation before actually firing up. What could this be?

SomeCrew

O.K. thanks a bunch.

SomeCrew

OK sweet deal, so I can pick up this tranny cooler at say a pep boys or advanced auto right?

Also, does it come with all the hardware I need? If not, what hardware do I need to get?

SomeCrew

Another question, is a tranny cooler and an oil cooler the same thing or different? And if different, should I get both?

SomeCrew

I am telling you guys, my geometry is still fine, even with the keys, I have that brushguard on there which could possibly be helping that out, but its not that heavy of a guard. I have not had any problems yet, even though it is way too early to tell yet. Who knows.... I will keep you all updated w...

SomeCrew

Yea, really they are intended for people whos torsion bars are very worn.

SomeCrew

Oh just say it Henry, you know you want to...

SomeCrew

Sounds like you may have something there for owners having difficulties. Where did you find them? Thanks, Reed I got them here. http://www.truckn-store.com/product.asp?returnURL=default.asp&ID=87643 Another little technique we did, gave me the ability get get that lift WITH THE AFTERMARKET KEYS wit...

SomeCrew

ooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo.........

I am ashamed...

SomeCrew

Jeggers, you have Tbar relocaters, it came with your lift kit. Its the brackets you bolted to the frame under the driver and passenger door that say superlift in chrome. Quite sleek and sexy if you ask me.

SomeCrew

I have the t-bar keys, and my alignment was no problem. Good thing about them is I got about an extra 1.5" out of the front and have absolutely no crank on them yet. Well, I do have a half crank on each side, thats just to make sure the adjuster bolts dont fall out

SomeCrew

So most of you now know I am turning big ole 35" tires. In the summer, I will be hauling a boat about 3 times the size of an average 2 person jet ski. I am going to put the 410 gears in eventually, but for now, I want to get a tranny cooler to keep the tranny safer. Does anyone know what a good buy ...

HenryJ wrote:(on slicks, of course)

Street slicks or straight drag slicks?

SomeCrew

Finally measured from my mirrors to the ground. 57" from the bottom of my mirror to the ground. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

SomeCrew

What does it run in the quarter mile Henry?

SomeCrew

So Brule, I can actually take a set of extend-a-flares from another model (same year) s-10 and the front will fit, and the back will fit with some minor cutting?

SomeCrew

I was told they will be more around the 400-450 range.... Of course, they arent out either, so...

SomeCrew

I am sorry if some of this doesn't make sense, but the Bushwacker thread was getting way off track , so I split the topic-HJ I told the guy about your product, actually Bubaloo. He said that they would probably be your better buy since they are cut out fenders, and yours are definetly cheaper than ...

SomeCrew

So I was over my buddies house today doing a little primer work to his chop-top s-10, this nicely lifted jeep pulls up next to my truck and gets out to look. His is taller than mine :( Anywho, we got to talkin and fender flares came up. He said that he works directly with bushwacker and they are mak...

SomeCrew

Yes, them shackles really do make a difference. They put a nice rake to the truck. I have no idea what the measurment is to my mirrors, I will have to check for you tomorrow or something. Or you can just measure from the bottom of your cab to the mirrors, and add 30", and that is what mine is.

SomeCrew

Nah, no rubbing on the 35's as of yet. I need to get new tires next, then I will get the fender flares. My back tires are so worn that they could not balance them, so on the highway it gets a little rocky. I am not going to go any bigger than 35s. They look great on my truck and I see no need to go ...

SomeCrew

I got a 6" SL, 2" BL, Shackles, and Tbar Keys with 35" tires. My front bumper is 29" off the ground and the rear is 31" off the ground.

SomeCrew

Oh yea and the grill guard is a Westin Sportsman.

SomeCrew

I had the same noise a while ago, they told me that the torsion bar brackets were loose, tightened them up, sounds great.

Same noise just came back today with my drop down brackets for the torsion bars. 2 bolts were loose. Tightened them up, problem gone.

SomeCrew

Thanks everyone for you help/support/concerns with this project. Yea, the tires are nice, but I gotta get rid of them. I got them for free, they are used, and they are extremely bald. they couldnt even balance the rear wheels hey were so tore up. So the next purchase is new tires, just got these to ...

SomeCrew

Daylight pics as promised... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom3ni/IMGP2108.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom3ni/IMGP2107.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom3ni/IMGP2106.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom3ni/IMGP2105.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/...

SomeCrew

I promise you all daylight pics by tomorrow night. Today was just a crazy day...

SomeCrew

Mine? Or Coffee's?

SomeCrew

I have i think 373s or something like that in there now, I plan on getting 410s after I get them fender flares from bubaloo so I don't get pulled over every other day

SomeCrew

Thanks everyone, I planned on doing some daylight pics today, but couldn't. Tomorrow I am gonna spend the whole day washing her up, then I will get some very nice pics for you all. Bubaloo, thanks for the shackle compliment. I can't remember where I got them, but he does pretty darned good work! :D ...

SomeCrew

Looks like your rollin around on 4 donuts

SomeCrew

Yes sir everyone, she is done. Still need an alignment, but other than that, she's purdy! Only rubbing I have is on the front valance, and I am gonna take care of that tomorrow. Links to pics... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom3ni/djtruck3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/F3nom...

SomeCrew

Sorry, its been done, just out showing it off, you know, I shall post pics in a new topic!

SomeCrew

I wil I will, dont worry.

Fingers crossed, the truck will be done tomorrow.

SomeCrew

If its a body drop, 99% chance its the frame thats cut...

SomeCrew

I got the metal brackets, We already did the break lines in the rear and everything was fine....

SomeCrew

I believe its spelled "Beuller"....I believe

SomeCrew

I did go through everything, I just saw the one, and figured that was it

Are you talkiung about the extension bracket for the brake lines in the rear?

SomeCrew

Went to the NOPI Nationals up Bud's Creek in Maryland over the weekend, and there were 2 Hybusas up there, both running high 5's. No wheelie bar. INSANE!

SomeCrew

I have the 6" SL, 2" BL, and got about 1.5"-2" out of the torsion bars so far with plenty of crank left in them. So that is more than 6" of lift. We cut the wheel and it doesnt look like its going to rub unless I slam a real hard bump in a hard turn.

Jeggers - I am missing one of the leaf pads.

SomeCrew

Always get AC Delco on any Chevy product.

SomeCrew

to where?

SomeCrew

Welp, had to call superlift YET again today, they forgot a part for the rear. Said it would be in saturday. Second time i had to call them so far. I didn't say one day, the guy doing it did. I think he put his foot in his mouth that time. Anywho, the front end is done with the 35"s on there, looks v...

SomeCrew

Well, the TB keys finally came in today, so the front end is done in the morning. Justin's shackles came in today as well, so the rear will be done by thursday. Then going friday to get it aligned, then bring it home to get some pictures taken for you guys...

SomeCrew

I did have a torque wrench.... I dunno...

SomeCrew

I crawled under mine the other day while installing the lift, and i couldnt tighten a single one....

SomeCrew

Me or Gocntry?

SomeCrew

Went up to the local track last night (capitol raceway). There was a Suzuki hybusa 1300 up there with turbo and nitrous, ran an 8 second quarter mile with no wheelie bar.

SomeCrew

Well I am still not done my install, held off on the front end until my TB keys arrive. However, I can tell you that disassembly and cutting the frame were not really that hard at all.

SomeCrew

I like me some John Mayer....forgot about him...
