Hey Phil, what do your CV angles look like after doing that?

Hold please, I will go look

 

[WhitetailAddict]

Good writeup Phil. That is something for me to consider for the future, and it uses all GM parts.

How do the ball joint angles look as well? I've got mine crank about 5 turns and the angles kinda scare me...

sorry guys, I forgot to check them, I ended up in the hospital and now I am on R&R at my folks house because they live over an hour closer to the hospital than I do. When I get back to my house, I will look for you guys.

Not a prob Phil. Just good to know your doing better now.

you know what is funny about that, everyone from the ambulance driver to the ER's that I visited asked was alchchol involved.

What? Am I the only one who does stupid sh*t when I am not drunk???

I did keys on my truck last fall. Made my truck sit up way too far in front. I read this post and decided to stick some 2 inch blocks in back, while I was at it we put in a set of bags, a compressor, and 2 gauges (one for each bag). It looks a lot better. Thanks Phil. I hadn't even thought about sticking blocks in back, wouldn't have known what size to go without ya. I had a metal/welding shop here in town build my U-bolts, only cost $42 bucks for the bolts, washers, and nuts. That might be a good route to go rather than getting bent over by the stealerships for 98 bucks or what ever you said. I'll post some pics when I get a minute. Thanks for the write up.

I like the alignment idea!!!

 

[RCpullerdude]

Any idea if this, or a similar trick will work on a GMT-400?

Looks good, won't break the bank, and I'm considering it if it'll work.

Thanks for the great write-up.

is the rear axle in your truck the same as a 3/4 ton? if so it may work.

 

[RCpullerdude]

Should be the same as an LD 2500. What about the front, do they use all the same torsion bar parts?

 

[Philbilly2]

I'm with you here, but I don't know the answers to the questions. I would have to go look at one of my buddys 5500 to get an idea of how they work.

Great post up. I have been piecing a kit together for my truck. This helped out alot. Thanks!

what does a torsion key tool cost?
