Looks like they need to be aimed down a bit, but I like the look.

well I just learned today that my Warn Hubs dont wanna unlock. So I am gonna rip them apart and see what i find, and i will pprobaly just end up spending the money and get a replacment set.

I also have been gatthering the stuff to build a hoist in my garage to take the topper off the K5, cause the weather is getting nice(mid 60's). I am gonna go pick up some boards tomarrow.

Chad, Thanks for the link, I will have to read over it later today. I am kinda framiler with manual hubs. But ive only taken apart and reassemblem Toyota hubs (pre-85'), I dont know how much different the Dana 44 and the warn hubs are though, I mean for the most part its the same concept.

Hubs are pretty simple just messy. If your replace them do yourself a favor and get the premium brass knob ones and not the economy black knob ones. When i replaced the ones on my K2500 i got the cheapies for like 30 bucks less and destroyed one on my first outing.

I actually prefer the stock 3/4 turns but not all of the trucks came with them. Thats what i have on the burb and i have a friend with a blazer on 42 in iroks with a 10b and they have stood up good for him. Plus if you break one there are lots of them in junk yards.

Does anyone know if Blazers and Pickup have the same width bed rails? Cause I wanted to pick up some bed rail caps and cut them down to fit on the blazer.
