    How exactly does the M1009 gun rack work?

    Even the M44 is too long. I tried.

    Th400 filter mount wobble?

    Its supposed to move so it doesn't suck air when you drive at an angle and the fluid sloshes back and forth. Lets it follow the fluid.

    52 inch spring swap confusion

    52" spring swap is for flex... not sure what you are asking. A set of stock replacement lift springs to match the shackle flip would probably serve you better. 52" springs aren't guaranteed for a certain amount of lift. You may end up doing a shackle flip and notice the front is an inch lower...

    1028 4" lift questions

    A proper lift includes pinion angle correction and high angle drivelines. You can have whatever approach angle you want, what is 'right' for you doesn't mean squat to the next guy.

    My M1008 ORD 4" Lift w/37's

    If the spacers were solid steel, I could see them being a temporary fix. Aluminum wheel components do not handle rocks and shock loads very well. I've seen aluminum rims and spacers shatter. I've also seen all the lug nuts snapped off a hub... spacers are streetable, not off-roadable. I would...

    My M1008 ORD 4" Lift w/37's

    Removable mud flaps are easier than a removable bumper, lol. Anything over 24" requires 'anti-spray devices' in most states. Get rid of the sway bar, and ditch the wheel spacers if you want to go off-road. If you have issues with backspacing, get different rims. Shock boots trap water and crud...

    Want to borrow/rent axle/diff case spreader in Louisiana...

    Or a rag between the gears.

    6.2 has plenty of power to dig out the deep holes :mrgreen: We all went around that hole after that, lol.

    Axle Swap Question

    Into what? Dana 60 will bolt into whatever you have, no modifications other than maybe a conversion u-joint. A 14bff from a 1 ton pickup has differen't spring perch spacing than 3/4 ton and below, have to cut them off and weld new ones on. Also may need a conversion u-joint. I don't have the...

    K&N air filter on 6.2

    I run the 'HD' filter with the foam ring...works great for extra protection from water splashing on the air cleaner if you do a lot of water crossings during your offroad adventures. (Flipping the air cleaner around backwards helps too.)

    Axle Swap Question

    This^ Highest gear made for Dana 60 was 3.54, and 3.21 for the 14B so we automatically know your gears won't match. You can do either one, but you definitely won't be able to use 4wd without blowing something up. Axles aren't held on by much, I don't think you need instructions. Remove drive...

    M1009 Driving Crooked

    If it doesn't vibrate and doesn't wander... don't mess with it.

    Installing power steering belt...

    You have to push the belt all the way behind the crank pulley and PS pulley and work it on from behind them, it's **** near impossible to force it on from the front of the pulley. Belts stretch, thats why its so hard to get on the first time.
