During the lift install we replaced a bad left half shaft. The right was seeping, but apparently couldn't take the increased angle and let loose a giant mess the tire shop was probably not happy about working around. I don't know how many more miles I could have gotten out of it, bit it was making a mess out of my mall crawler, so it had to get replaced tonight. @tornadoalleycruiser stopped by and did a parts run for me (he passed on putting kids to bed) and helped me out immensely. Thanks brother.
We pried the axle out yesterday. Today tried a different method of wrapping something around the back of the CV and popping it out with a hammer. Poly rope had too much give, harbor freight ratchet strap broke, but a small chain worked like a charm. Need to buy some amsteel to make a lighter weight version.
And with the new shoes. 275/70R17 BFG AT KO2s. Rub just a tiny bit somewhere but only at full lock.
