    Bobber 20K PTO Rear Winch

    Has anyone considered Electro-hydraulic power steering?

    I run 5 ton pump with hydro assist works too good !!!! Garrison Steering , look at large truck scrap yards a lot of them in service cheap. Early GMC and Chevrolet soft drink trucks also used this . God Luck

    Lug nuts (and how to bust your own)

    Smoke Torque = TIGHTEN TILL IT SMOKES !!!! Ky. Torque = Tighten till it breaks then back off 1/4 turn !!! I think the torque is around 400-450 ft. lbs. Mine are not that tight now , I carry no loads . If I carry a load in it I will re torque !!

    Switching the Spring Perch

    My truck has Hydro Assist . The axle perchs are angle cut 0 caster stock , flip and 4 degs. positive caster . Same as riding your bicycle as a kid with the wheel turned around backwards !!

    Switching the Spring Perch

    I changed mine to power assit steering rotating the shims made all the difference in the world . Truck does not have the druken monkey effect anymore. My truck had no pins to locate the axle attached to it. Nothing broken or missing not present !!!
