So I have to tear apart my full front end to replace a bunch of parts (Ball Joints, Wheel/Spindle Bearings and seals, Tie Rods, Rotors and Pads, Axle Pivot Bushings, etc.).
I have already upgraded the U-joints, front diff bash guard, 4.56 gears, Eaton E-Locker, boxed the passenger side beam, will be opening up the axleshaft window (passenger) to deal with the axleshaft rub and the passenger slip yoke mod (grind out some metal to allow for better flex).
I have searched through the forums and read all of the posts on what I need and how to do it.
I already have the spring/collar (2 sets actually) in case I decide to do the mod.
What I want to ask is for the ones that have done it what is their feedback (issues or benefits (I understand the main benefit)) and for the ones that haven't (why they decided not to). Or has anyone performed the mod and then went back to stock.
I will be tearing into this project within the next week or so (waiting on parts and frame jack stands) and am on the fence with this mod.
Thanks.
