I had mine rebuilt through BZ in LA. Word is they do the work for Specter and might be the only option around: https://bzrebuilders.com/

Pictures of the engine bay and your test data will help us sort it out. Not easy but I have passed in San Diego for 27 years.

It was years ago but I had mine done along with a motor rebuild at Kenyon Machine, just north east of mission bay. 5002 Santa Fe St # E, San Diego, CA 92109. It was a very old school shop. It also helps if they match the washer surface on the other side so you don't have to use cut washers...

I can see that there is a huge potential for a big mess. That said I was very carefull with the setup, I wet the rubber seal on both sides with brake fluid and confirmed it held pressure before adding any fluid. old T-shirt just in case. Having done this a lot of times with assistance this...

Adding this for those who use the search feature in the future. Here are the wheels and tires with an OME heavy + Cruiser corps extended shackles. I think the height is perfect.

I did a ton of searches on Mud and ended up here for a brake bleed: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CJ5DWKO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 My truck needed a full bleed from the master out. This was so easy and only had to check the pressure a couple of times for all four wheels, no...

(4) 15 x 8 -19 rims. Two of them have some rock rash but all are structurally solid. Hard offset to find and fit 33 x 10.5 tires perfectly. $140 for the set if you can pick them up.

It is bedliner, specifically Monstaliner. I posted up some pictures at the link below whwn I did it: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/monstaliner-bedliner.485502/page-38 Rack and bumpers are all home built back when I had more time, heavy but solid.

Ha, The installer had to redo the garage door twice even after showing him my truck for measurement first. The wheels are the Nomad Arvo 17 x 8.5 -25 rims. I have stock axles, no spacers and no modifications to the width. The tires are 285/75 r17 BFG All Terrain KO3. My suspension is a new OME...

I would call it 33.275 with whatever pressure discount tire put in them, have not checked yet but felt soft for an E tire.

I like the look but still feel like the holy grail is 17" with correct back spacing. The Nomads are -25 or 1" on an 8.5 rim. I am thinking that ends up as 8.5 /2 = 4.25 -1 = 3.25" backspacing. I did not really want to go this much wider but after having looked for years this is the first...

To somewhat close this out and keep anyone else from making the same mistake. The Vision wheel fouls on the caliper and I do not want to grind anything. After many hours of internet searching I came across Nomad wheels. They make a 17x8.5 -25 rim. I have had a few emails with them and they...
