CV Joint Vibration?

A while back, I cranked my tbars and added shackles to get about 2 inches of lift. I was pretty much running my studded snow tires back and forth to skiing, and had not had it aligned. I did have...

RE: 1996 FACTORY BACKSPACING

Every shop I asked at thought that 4" was the only backspacing, I already knew better though.

RE: tire recommendation

I have those Firestones on my Toy truck. The in laws put them on there before I bought it. I use that as my daily driver and off-roader for work. I have not gotten stuck, but avoid most deep mud. I...

RE: Sagging spirngs, wanting a lift.

try Synergy offroad for shackles. I got the 2 inch fabtech. The oem shocks will work with 2 inch. I also need shocks, and was wondering if there are some slightly longer that would be better.

I could get the top out, but not the bottom. I took off the u bolts to drop it down to where I could beat the crap out of it with a 4 pound hammer for about 2 hours. The oem shackles left some nice...

RE: t-bar crank question

I found the same with my tbar bolts. I cranked the passengers up about 8 times, to even things out.

As for a previous post, the shackles SHOULD be easy. Like was said, drop the spare - a lot of...

I went with Firestone Winterforce Studded. 235/75R15 I would say a big reason for the choice was the cheaper price.

RE: BFGS AT'ko

I would tend to agree. I got a new set of BFGs last year, and they did great in the snow for the most part. No getting stuck, but I thought they could have been better. Seemed like I would slide...

RE: CV Joints

So the main thing is that it is lubed and sealed, not really that it has x amount of grease?

Thanks for the info. I think that I may leave the drivers side for a bit, and do what you discussed on the other. I suppose I will do that Wednesday when I do the shackles (delivery on Tues. per UPS)...

How full should they be? I believe there is a definite problem on the passenger since I could probably collect a handfull of grease...

CV Joints

Well, I did a t-bar crank. Based on my measurements, I have gone up about 1.5 inches on the drivers side, and a bit more on the passengers to level it out.

First Question: I measure 33.5 inches...

Your practicing your driving techniques in a controlled environment. That way you will know how your vehicle reacts, should something happen out on the road.

RE: Fit Problem

yah, I was running the same size BFG ATs on the stocks. Glad to hear it should only take the bar crank to get it to fit, if needed.
Any other experiences?

Fit Problem

I just got some new wheels for snow tires. I have a stock 98 Blazer LT 4x4 with slightly up sized 235/75/R15 tires (came with 70's).

The ones they said would fit were a 4 inch backspacing - I...

It does really depend on your need to drive, your skill, and your acceptance of risk.

The snows will help out. A decent all season M/S will do you pretty well as well. I bought a set of BFG AT...
