yostyexplorer94's 1/2 Ton Axle Project

[liftit]

nice job. glad to know someone else out there is rocking almost an identicle setup as me.

My only complaint is my trac bar isn't level, when i flex it pulls the axle over a couple of inches... but it has not caused any issues so I am not gonna get to excited.

I bought ballistic fab over the knuckle tie rod inserts back in 2010/2011. This is the clearance I have between the tie rod end and the knuckle.

I overall love the inserts and haven't had any real problems with them other than I clearance for the tie rod boots. (they rip off within 2 turns of the wheel)

I ordered the same tie rod flip inserts so lets install these in my spare knuckles.

1" hole.

Let's not have this issue again. I countersunk the inserts in the knuckle to give me more clearance.

Sweet, right? Sure.

All kinds of clearance now.

Too much clearance.

If I would not have countersunk it, It would have been perfect. That's what I get for assuming the product is the exact same from 7-8 years ago and not actually comparing them side by side. At least I should be able to run a boot of some sort.

They ended up tighter than planned. I am very glad I countersunk them

The boot installed. We shall see if it holds up.
