Hey everyone, I’m looking for a Baja style front and rear bumper. SVC, RHF, and relentless fab are all sold out. Need something I can attach my sensor to as well as no winch attachments. I have fiberglass front fenders and beds so I need something a bit wider as well as less beady with a skid...
So I ordered a long travel kit from a big company that have been giving me nothing but trouble. (Wrong axle shafts, wrong upper and lower control arm knuckles, and finally brake lines that aren't extended nor fit the oem thread). My last option was to come on here and ask for help.
Anyone know...
It’s sitting flush. If I machine press it in with one piece frozen and the other heated it still wouldn’t fit. I’ve been told it might be the f150 kit. I tried pressing it in slightly and nothing
At this point I’m going to ask them to resend me the ranger kit since it’s the second issue I’ve experienced and might just think the upper and lower control arms dont go for the kit
I bought the tool for it, I’ve tried smacking it a lot of times, I’ve tried everything in my power and ended up paying $350 for a local shop to do it all for me. The risk did not pay out for the reward. If I messed up the thread I’d have to buy a whole new axle
Pros of going bigger is more clearance, more grip if you air down, more aesthetic and cons would be noise depending on how big and pattern as well as lower mpg. I added sound deadening all on the inside of my rig so I’m not much help on what would be loud or quiet.
Once more reaching out to yall. Second time I’m having an issue with Baja kits. First time around I was send the wrong axle shafts and now this. The pictures do a better explanation of what’s going on and I’m wondering if anyone else had the same issues. Last time I was told the parts should...
So I did some counting…..
The tripod has 27 grooves
The cv shaft has 29 spindles on both sides
Do I machine press it in? ?
Going to definitely email them
I could measure it but that requires my oem shaft to be stripped ?. I’ll google the length of the oem shaft. Do you know if they give the exact length of the shaft on Baja kids?
For the peeps that have the Baja kits long travel did your cv axle shaft not fit into the tripod bearing? Or did I get sent the wrong cv shaft. The shaft is too big where even tapping it in won’t work
