green180 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Your trucks looking good, I'm starting to like the black tires with no stripe Quote Link to comment
glorydime Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm going back to the white walls as soon as I have the cash. I feel a little wasteful being that these tires are almost new, but they were so cheap. Quote Link to comment

glorydime Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I haven't been run off the road yet, but people honk when I slow down for pot holes or neighborhood speed bumps. Putting in the new rear shocks this weekend. Will be nice to stiffen up the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment
glorydime Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 You guys ever have troubles removing the drums from your brakes? I can't seem to get my drum off, I can remove the bearing pull it off that way, but obviously I would rather just remove the drum. I have replaced my drums in the past, but don't remember this being such a chore to get them off for a brake job. I have been using a rubber mallet with no such luck. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Rubber mallet won't work. U need like a 3 lb hammer. Give it some good wacks around the face. . Careful not to hit the studs. Put the lug nuts on the tips of them to protect them just in case you miss. Also closing the adjusters helps sometimes. Quote Link to comment
glorydime Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Ill try the hammer, FRUSTRATION HAHAHA thanks! Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Jsut wack the shit out of it,and dont forget the parking brake,i know you dont have it set and trying to do this at the same time. Quote Link to comment
glorydime Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yeah I got one off. Hahaha but still can't get the others. Ohh well there's always tomorrow!! I've never had this much trouble with drum brakes. Quote Link to comment
glorydime Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Alright guys, I was wondering if anyone else feels a vibration in there trucks after lowering them? I only feel it in third and fourth gear or mainly higher speeds. I did buy the beltechs with the 2 degree drop, but was worried which way they go in. Did I out them in backwards? I have the slant higher towards the cab right now. Anyone who has felt this let me know. Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 ive never had that issue but i hear the the carrier bearing needs shims when lowering 521s or else vibrations can happen, my lowering blocks were cut slightly slanted so shims wrent necesarry Quote Link to comment
