So, I got the truck up on a lift because the clunking is still driving me crazy. I noticed this on the front of the passenger side springs. It droops down a solid 3 inches when unloaded, with what seems like zero spring resistance. I think this is very likely where the clunk is coming from...

Same.

PS, I got this info from the good folks at Deaver: "Definitely use ample grease on the bushings especially on the shackle end and yes only torque the shackle bolts to 50 lbs we want them to move unrestricted. Check and see if maybe a pad at the end of the leaves are missing or that maybe a...

Hey there, sorry for the delay, it's been a fun winter here in the pacific northwest. I've had some snow time with the Raptor, but most of my time has been working on the '68 F100 (check it out on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tobiasmeadsmith/) Tonight I spent an hour messing with the...

PS, this is a great article: http://liftlaws.com/are_beadlocks_street_legal.htm

My only concerns are regulatory (ie; warranty and or insurance). From a safety standpoint, I've regularly checked the torque for more than 10k miles, with zero deviation.

There are two wheel styles, the spoke style and the beadlock style. I’m 99% confident this will work with the beadlock wheels.

I’m tempted by a matte black wrap. Would be so awesome.

Hi folks, Yep, they are the official beadlock rings, and mounted per the included instructions from Ford (https://performanceparts.ford.com/download/instructionsheets/FordInstShtM-1007-DC1785.pdf) Here are more pics - I've been super happy with the set up. I've checked the torque of the bolts...

Good idea, will try that this week.

Me four. I checked the u-bolts and e-brake cables this weekend. Kind of annoying, sure love these springs otherwise!

This happened last week... kinda cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I crawled under the truck, it's a Borg Warner tcase. I can't find any actual specs online to match the numbers, but if you search for Borg Warner "Torque on Demand", there are lots of general comments.

Thanks, Troverman, that helps a ton! Do you happen to know the name or model of the transfercase? Would love to research this more, just for fun. A couple years ago, I did a bunch of studying of the various locking differentials, would like to do similar with this.
