Finally finished up my front axle service which included servicing the Birfs, new wheel bearings and races, new trunions and races, new seals, etc... Took way longer than I expected, but finished it by myself. Figured next time should be way quicker. Also put in new OEM rotors, pads for the front. New Slee brake lines. Bought the whole set, but only managed to get both front caliper to axle sets done and the rear frame to axle. The front driver side frame to axle was a total pain and after spending a day, I gave up and figured to try again when I tackle the rear brakes. Brakes bled ok, still not what I would like them to be, was not able to bleed the LSPV valve as the bleeder nut was not gonna budge. Will soak with PB and see if that helps.

Since I just put on a new OME Heavy/Heavy suspension, it was also time for new tires. Had my eyes on the Goodyear Duratracs. They were back-ordered so 1 month later they were on. Man everyone's right, these trucks just eat big tires. 315's Don't even look that big on the truck.

Next, got to get the slee caster bushings installed. It drives ok, but gets kinda sketchy sometimes. After that, will order a Slee rear bumper to finish it all up.
