Direct Connection recommended pinion snubbers for a reason. Enough =

rear face of the center case and the axle tubes. Mark the case with a =
center punch in the centerline on each end of the diff. case and another =

need a straight edge. Masking tape works ok but it must be straight. =
That's why you used the center punch. Paint a straight 1/16th line =

tubes. Connect the dots with a ruler so-to-speak. Not an original idea =
I know, but this one is tried and true and going back to the basics =
doesn't hurt sometimes.

Received my lakewod traction bars today from the ups man. took me a =
whole
15 minutes to install em (went ahead and jacked it up to put the drag
radials on inpreparation for tomooww nights test and tune at the strip). =
i
didnt have time to paint the ugly yellow things, ill do it this weekend.
but they do fit perfectly and the rubber thingy at the front comes to =
just
before the spring eye at the front of the spring (like everyone was
worrying about). so i alreayd drove around with em and noticed =
immediately
that the truck shifts firmer (guess this means the springs were flexin a
bit under the 1-2 and 2-3) and take off alot firmer (if ya know what i
mean). so i will tell tomoroww if it helped out at all, im lookin for em =
to
aid my reaction time consistency.
