I did not have that kind of difficulty with my driveline. The only difficulty I had was finding the correct u joint. During my teardown, I ditched the original u joint so I had nothing to compare it to. I had to take measurements. After the O'Reilly's person went through 3 pages of u joints we gave up and I called a local driveline specialist. In his southern voice he said, "You need a Precision 372." That solved my problem.

Can you get some movement out of your rear shackles once the truck is on the ground?

not bragging just letting you know that as you make Restoration Plans, those plans might could change for various reasons, I'm just keeping it real, stuff happens

the good news is LMC Truck confirmed they got my returned McGauphys front coil springs and will be refunding me $150 bucks! can't wait I'm thinking reinvesting in BellTech Nitro shock kit all the way around before that money burns a hole in my pocket
I can understand being in my area of the country and getting the crud but how do you get bronchitis is California?
