Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[07Burb]

Me neither but it makes for good drama for the daytime forum entertainment.

So true.

 

[NORCAL SS]

i never knew we had issues either thought everything was in the past. I was helping him here on a few posts also oh well.

 

[Blazed]

I never said we had any beef man.

 

[Goodinblack]

So what is the plan now Josh?

Well lee now we wait.

Well I need the spindles by the 28th and the site I ordered them from has not emailed me with any info yet so I've texted Tony in hopes I can get the spindles before the 28th so I can have this resolved before the road trip.

 

[Goodinblack]

Can someone please explain why the BelTech spindles would cause less stress on the suspension vs the McGaughys?

Not being smirk...... really asking.

What is the difference?

Especially since McGaughys claims to be a OE height spec. Spindle and they plaster their ads all over the place.

While looking at them while steered straight ahead it looks as if there is pressure on the tie rods because the mount isn't flat it looks like it's pushing on them I could see where it would cause tie rods to wear out faster but not really put pressure on the steering gear..

They also appear to be a pain in the ass to install on 4x4.
I cannot even see the nut on the upper ball joint it's like inside the spindle when I replaced the spindles and uca the uca and spindle are coming out as one unit because there is no way I saw to get to that nut

 

[Goodinblack]

Updates?

 

[Blazed]

Spindles and panhard coming Wednesday according to tracking number from tony.
control arms are here.

Nice bike

I hope you're also using jack stands to hold it up bro. I say that cuz all I see is a jack and stack of landscaping bricks and one jack stand doing nothing but sitting there.

[07Burb]

[Goodinblack]

If I had a dollar for every time I seen this truck apart...... lol

 

[Blazed]
