Found sometime to work on the 40

[phishtaco]

Well my wife and the two kiddos were still out of town on Sunday, so I got a few hours in on the 40. I finally put in some shims up front to help with castor. I also put in a MAF Ubolt flip that I've had for god knows how long and some wheel spacers for now to help widen the stance with the Q78s and stock steelies. I got it almost down and the family came home. I've got to finish up one rear ubolt flip, it was giving me a hard time getting the center pin into the axle perch. Any tips on this? I'm also missing a couple of spacer lugs.

You're a good man Marty..flat out. Time alone at the cribb for a family man is sacred time.

Glad you made the most of it. Toss a locker out back and your abour ready to wheel..

Marty,

On the center pins... When i do springs i raise the vehilce up and loosen the ubolts on both sprinng so there is some play, otherwise you are fighting the other spring. I hope this is useful.

ahh so loosen both sides? All the other one slid right in as I would jack the axle up. I guess I got lucky 3 out of 4 times. I'll give that a shot.

Time alone at the crib is nonexistent.....My kids are the best though. Sophia the 2.5 year old likes to help but the impact wrench was scaring her a little bit.

Locker has been installed out back for a few months....The list of s*** is soo long and them money is soo short.

I've still got the lugnuts rolling around on the floor of the car. I'm heading into Cincinnati Tuesday and will drop them off.
