Still leaking after he replaced it.
Thought you might wanna hassle him for a SYE package deal.
Fixed!
After replacing the seal for the second time and its still leaking.
Upon further inspection (by Adamsdriveshaft), they concluded that i may have a bent output shaft and a replacement was in order.
With new output shaft and tail housing installed, leak has gone....didn't drive much, but so far no leak

RC Performance 2.2 Steering Stabilizer
Got a lot of work done today.
Installed my RC Performance 2.2 Steering Stabilizer.
(Overrate!)
Gave Hippo her first wash and clean up my garage.
Before and after pics
Last poser shots, i promise
Have to remove my bumper caps as the tires was rubbing. I suspect it was my wheel's backspace (3.75), anyway, time to hunt for some bumper or do some trimming.

Shackle angle doesn't look good, leaf springs too short imo.
I'm getting around 5.5" front and 6.25" rear of lift so far, looks like there is quite a bit of breaking in.
Measuring Lift Height
>Center of the hub to bottom of the flares, stock=17.5" front and 17" rear.
>Another way is to measure the top of the axle tube to the frame rail, stock = 6.75 front and 6" rear.
Anything more would be the lift height.

Thinking about ordering the RC disconnects, what are your thoughts on them? Have you disconnected them yet?
I had the old Skyjacker's with the double pins, those suck. Then I drove around with the front sway bar off because I could never get the discos back on.
