I don't know where else to put this but I lost my father the other day to a brain anuraisam and having a hard time with it :( If you guys would like to know more from a fellow diesel enthusiasts and a great father
http://m.legacy.com/obituaries/desm...aspx?n=&pid=175108770&referrer=0&preview=True



Yesterday I competed a sas that was started in September of 2014 with my father

It has 14 bolt front 3.73 gears Detroit locker 30 spline inner and 35 spline outer
Front Ford 2006 f-350 suspension
Rear stock 11.5 with 3.73 with a grizzly locker
37x13.5x20 toyos mt's with 20x12 tis wheels
Rancho 9000xl shocks
4 inch banks exhaust
Afe stage 2 intake
Boss 8 foot straight blade

We were planning on a fass or airdog and efi before the NHRDA event in st. Louis but I don't think I will be able to swing it and maybe not even go but he will get one ride in it even though he never got to see it completed. I hope he would be proud of it and I hope you all like it.

Love you DAD!!

Swap them master pro out for a different brand. Master pro is an "improved," aka thicker design and will only fit half way in the sleeve. I used Auto zone brand with some anti-seize. Rough country sleeves are for lifted trucks BTW.

Doubt it matters if the truck is lifted or not...

My mistake on this post, I have moog inners! But anyways im in the process of drilling out the sleeves so they will fit. :thumb: I need to get a bigger drill bit though

I have put many different sleeve setups on various trucks. I've come to the conclusion that its worth the wait to pay for the Rare Parts Gen 2 tie rods. Unbeatable things! Really great quality. IMO.

Has anyone seen the I believe it is the Zone 10 3" lift for our trucks? I'm wanting a set of cognito UCA. And just wanna drop the front dif a bit to correct some angle. It looks like those brackets would be just what I need. Minus the rest of the lift garbage I don't need. Might try and make a front diff drop brackets.

Sounds like fun! I'd tap a grease fitting on there too

Got the sleeves/tie rods put together and installed on the truck.. The sleeves really beefed up the tie rod and the look of the front end a bit. Gotta finish it up a little tomorrow then test out a 4wd launch at like 7 psi.. Maybe more :cool:

Edit: how difficult is replacing the pitman, idler, centerlink? Found out it has some play that I dont like

It's not that bad of a job if you have the proper pitman arm puller..

Spent some more time on mine tonight. Finished up lbz swap wiring, ran my pcv hoses, installed my egr delete pipe, installed intake, poured 5 gal of fuel in.. Then fought a no crank for 2 hours.. Looks like I killed the fuse box somehow. No power to the crank relay, has power at bottom of fuse box. Ended up jumping the relay and starting it up for the first time.
