[QUOTE="Claymore, post: 445859, member: 22623"] If you are going to take it to a shop, be sure to verify that they have done this job multiple times, and recently. I say this because I began a relatively straightforward lift and gear change a week before Christmas. Unfortunately the shop has undergone an almost complete personnel change and a bout of the flu that somehow caused them to neglect to do an alignment after the installation, which was not the biggest issue. They also left out a 1/4 inch pipe plug that caused a gear oil leak that was completely missed on two subsequent visits to remedy the oil spraying all over the rear of the rig. Long story short, the lack of gear oil caused excessive wear very quickly. Now the ring and pinion in that new axle housing need to be replaced. This could have been avoided if they had taken the time to look it over, and finish what they were doing before moving on to the next task. Sorry for the rant, but I do not want this to happen to you. [/QUOTE]
