More fun on the trailer today. . So when i was going to Moab last month or whenever it was when i was leaving i had all the problems with it . Well i figured i would dig into the wheel that was coming off today . the outer bearing was pretty much non existent and was welded to the spindle with some rollers ground in to add some more fun . After about a hour of thinking how fun it is i was finally able to get the hub off . This would have been Grand on the side of a road . But its off so i can wipe the tears away and clean up the spindle and get this treat back together . Going to go get new bearings and seal ( i have a new set but can not remember where they went . will get some plate cut this week to cover the extensions and get a new tire . This 40 is going in Aug done or not If i have to drive it on the freeway there its Going .!!!! i dont care i dont even care if it breaks a mile in This thing is not going to live its life in the garage

I am going to raise it 2 inches . and that puts my frame at 23 inches . I like the look better and will give me a little more room . I have 14 inch springs on the bottom and 10s on top. But i am down 2 3/4 inches. I have a set of 12 inch uppers also. so i am going to try those and see what it does . Worst case i will lower the shock towers 2 inches. LOL the same 2 inches i extended them . I will take it out next weekend for a real test . I really want to go full Hydro and rework the front. I am not thrilled with how it looks rt now .
