i finally put the lift in this past weekend as well as a complete front diff overhauland found a few probs i need help with js,shocks,slee plates
1 frt of truck leans to left. remmember seeing something something about ome springs haveing a drivers and pass spring but didnt see anything when i went to install them.also , truck has the rake!!!and its driving me crazy,ive read of people using mr gasket coil spacers,does it level it out,and anybody got a part#
2 got some 315 baja claws on stock rims ,i dont like the 8" inch rims ,iwant to go to a 10"rim ,what backspacing do i need?
3 did a frt axle rebuild(axle seal leaked) put all new bearing,seals,axles in. put it all back togetherand could not get the dust cap for end of axle to go back on. finally got them on,took it for a ride and they popped off .the axles seem to stick out really far(doesnt even bottom out on reataining clip for axle,both sides
anyone got any imput on this? :confused:
 
Install the taller of the 2 springs on the left side. In the US that would be the driver's side.

I like the rake because I know that when I load the cargo area with stuff, it'll level out. If you start more level, then load it up, the rear sags. I hate bouncing the tail off rocks and ledges.

Why don't you like the 8" rims? Just curious.
 
You may have some mismatch componets in the axle. What year is your truck? How thick were the drive plates, how long past the end of the drive plates did the stub stick past? Post a picutre of the end of the axle with the stub pull all the way out. It may help for us to see the problem.
Other things when posting question, what year, what mileage ETC. More information is better than a little. later robbie
