RedAF Truck/SUV/SUT thing...

Clean work nice job.

Yep. I had to replace the trans cooler lines on my 2500. About half way into it I immediately regretted not getting the lines that you make up yourself.

Comfy crew cab short bed normally, regular cab long bed when needed. Those are 12' 2x12s sticking out and 10' near the end of the tailgate.

The 285s catch the inner fender because of the massive amount of flex from turning into my parents' driveway... Last week it wrapped the liner out.

Picked up a pair of 1/2" spacers to make the rear axle the width it should have been from the factory.

you got enough stud left or have to put on longer studs?

Studs looked fine. I'm going to check them regularly for a while.

The more I thought about it, I decided to change the studs. The rear brakes had never been off either (at just over 195k miles) so I put new pads on it as well.



Dorman 610-428.1 is the perfect replacement. They're about 1/2" longer and they are the longest you could get in without pulling axle shafts. There's one spot you can get the stud in at an angle and rotate the shaft to fit it in.

looks good! that kind of wheel spacer with stock studs always spooked me.

Yeah, I didn't want a spacer wide enough that it has its own studs, or to cut down the stock studs. The width of these is perfect.
