I had to use a big air compressor and an impact gun. I'd go on and replace tie rod end when you do it. The boot is gonna bust when you use the pickel fork. Find you a friend with an industrial air compressor. I'd help you if you lived down this way...

Oh, and not to throw another wrench into the works, but you say you are on a tight budget, so...

Do some looking around for threads on having 3+ inches of lift on an Auto - and the effects it has on the front drive shaft. Definitely something to keep in mind...

Alright so i am probably going to leave something out because a lot has gone on but to make a long story short(er) i cant get the Kumhos. Ordered some spacers and then that fell through so ended up paying extra money and getting some rims! got some cragar soft 8's coming in on friday and hopefully going to install some 35" duratracs on em!

Lots of good feedback on the Duratrac so far, be sure to give us your report! (would have been my next tire - if the coin toss had landed on AT's instead of MT's... )
