Swapped out my 10 bolts as well. Used the 12 bolt rear and 44 front from my 76 k5. Built with 3.73s Yukon axles and lockers. These rigs are fun to build. Main reason i bought an m1009, which pisses the local ss guys off, was because it is a rust free, nearly new, 86 K5 Blazer. Un-bastardized so...

I am using the ORD 3" lift kit. They specd out a 4" shackle reversal due to my keeping the top on the back. Up front are the Tuff country 3" heavy duty springs due to the 6.2 I live in the least restrictive state in the nation when it comes to firearms and land use. I wheel all summer here in...

No. Off Road Design. Here. If you want a cheap lift for show, look elsewhere. If your intent is to improve articulation for wheeling, look at ORD.

Guys. It is a piece of metal tubing. The crush sleeve. It is not an intergalactic transdimensional interface. It's sole pupose is to eliminate slop and provide tension for the opposed pinion bearings in their races. Yes, when brand new components are used, it is important. After 100k miles or 75...

Unless you have pre existing pinion bearing conditions such as; noise, vibration, and roughness, I hereby declare you FREE to torque that pinion nut; one. Last. Time. (Can i use two semi-colons in the same sentence?). Yes. And. Yes. No to red locktite. It is already a locknut. It does not or...

Okay, had a few beers. Here you go Nathus with the Wyoming shade tree mechanic solution to your problem; Everyone offended by plain common sense should buzz off now. Nathus. Put the yoke onto the pinion splines. Put the washer on. Thread the pinion nut on finger tight. Pull out on the yoke...

A worn out or loose pinion bearing or improper pinion preload could easily cause a vibration similar to the one you are describing. It would be a shame to do all the work and still have an issue. Here goes; Behind the pinion yoke there is a tapered roller bearing. There is also a tapered roller...

To do it properly, you need to replace the crush sleeve and reset pinion preload. This requires a fixture to hold the pinion yoke, a very long bar for leverage on your pinion nut ratchet, and an inch pound torque wrench. Or you can just zip the pinion nut back on blind. Just don't over torque...

No, they don't add a piece of tubing to the middle. Are you joking? The welds holding the end yokes to the tubing are machined out. The end yokes are pressed into a new piece of tubing the proper length, straightened, welded, and spin balanced. I highly doubt six states or Dennys would cost that...

Nathus, Denny's Driveshafts can build a driveshaft for you and ship it anywhere in the world. I highly recommend you use them or another online service such as; http://www.sixstates.com/products/categoriessuppliers.jsp?category=DL who are actual automotive driveshaft builders. No offense to the...

Your driveshaft absolutely MUST be lengthened. I worked at a driveline service and built driveshafts all day long. Go take a seal to center measurement and contact a local or online driveline company. (Measure directly from the seal surface on the output of the transfer case in a direct line to...

As for the driveline angles after a lift kit; If you are using the stock driveshaft and it has 2 u-joints total. The two u-joints should rotate on a parallel plane to each other. For a cardan shaft (typical front driveshaft m1009) with 3 u-joints, you point the pinion directly at the output of...
