    2/3 drop terribly wrong! NEED EXPERTS! PICS! OH NO!

    Its really not healthy for me to discuss this but I have around 12k in it the way it sits. Suspension setup is around 4k of that and about 170 labor hours and counting.... Im eager to get the rear end back so I can lay this thing all the way out. Im thinking it will take a dedicated week...

    2/3 drop terribly wrong! NEED EXPERTS! PICS! OH NO!

    You may remember my post "rear bagged with pics" from forever ago....if not, its still up and reviews the rear drop setup. UNFORTUNATLEY, my dumba$$ did not consider the larger wheels would require an in depth wheel tub and more travel to lay out. For the rear.....I am currently in the process...

    rear bagged with pics

    Grocery Getter -- It is possible that its the driveshaft to rear trans output shaft seal rubbing - not real sure on the different plunge lengths of the 2wd though. Wish the truck was closer -- maybe come help you check it out. I would love to put it on a drive-on style rack and air it out...

    rear bagged with pics

    someone asked about pics of the doors? the door wells were left alone - as the factory 4 link travels up it brings the wheel too far forward into the door jam. Instead of hacking apart the doors/door jams/etc I instead relocated the entire rear axle 1.75" towards the back of the truck. Thus...

    rear bagged with pics

    Im going for 285/35R22. The wheels are the 2010 Denali/Hybrid 22x9 +31mm offset. Debating on having the chrome stripped and powdercoated black or just leave them alone. Oh the lower bag plates are welded to the factory lower spring perch.(ground the spring center out of the perch). The 1.5"...

    rear bagged with pics

    rear bagged with pics

    pics OOO BTW, The brown that looks like rust is actually primer. Im also not quite done yet as the gas tank filller neck needs routed farther away from the bag on the drivers side. I have exhaust turn downs that need to be welded in still. There is also plenty of grinding and cleaning welds...

    bagged truck with out with out rear sway bar?

    I maintained the rear sway bar by using rear sway bar links from a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. I also cut and relocated/welded the rear sway bar mounts on the frame. Perhaps here in Colorado I find myself on the highway rather often doing 80mph. I-25 has construction down the majority of...

    rear bagged with pics

    Will get pics tomorrow -- you can see the back of the box from one of the pics through the hole area where the hitch used to be. The box was constructed by myself out of 10 AWG sheet metal. The box has been bedlined and has a plate cover with numerous torx head screws and bolts making it...

    Goosy-honky whine coming from rear end when rollin real low.......ideas?

    hmmmm - I would check the transmission rear output shaft seal rubbing againt the driveshaft flange. at the height where it makes the noise. I would also remove the rear driveshaft from the rear differential pinion flange and try to rotate that u-joint by hand, if it feels stiff in any...

    bagged truck with out with out rear sway bar?

    Id say that the only reason to remove the sway bar is if you wanna go lower and cant because its hitting something. Id rather fix the hitting/rubbing issue of components than remove them. Seems like the only time not having a sway bar would be beneficial is if you were hittin switches side to side.

    front bumpstop bracket

    ESCA-L8R is correct tidbit of info..... Bump stop is there to limit suspension travel, thus decreases "body roll" - prevents rollover tendency of the vehicle. However, the bump stop may be set at a certain distance to limit travel of other front or rear end components, i.e. CV AXLES...

    Constant rattling and shaking!

    recommend replacing the shocks for the shake (most likely), and replacing the bump stops cuz they look like hell. Had a 2006 yukon in last week with a bad jounce and shake out of right front - transferred through steering wheel. replaced shocks, verified repair. Loose lower ball joints...

    Massive engine problems.. mechanics?

    You have said that you have bad gas mileage lately -- how bad? Fuel in oil? - That would require that an injector is leaking (stuck open) and washing a cylinder wall down and bypassing the piston rings - if this was the case the truck would run very poorly and smoke -- white smoke on start...
