Here's an update- finding that my t- bars are settling daily, not noticeable looking at it one side settles more that the other. I'm thinking of applying pipe joint compound to the adjusting bolts so they don't back out and thread locker. I've pleasantly found that bump steer and tire scrubbing are minimal to none when fenders are 33 3/8 measured from the ground- now if I can get it to stay there. Suggestions guys? TIA

 

If you use loctite, use the blue and only a small amount, like dip a pencil into the bottle and dab the pencil tip onto the threads. It doesnt take much.
Dab the the treads half way up the shank of the bolt so that when you getbto final turn, the loctite has just started entering the block. You dont want to coat the entire inside of the block.

Far to many ppl slather that **** on and then bitch when they need a propane torch to get the bolt loose later.

 

what's the difference between the red and the blue? Well- it's a little late for that anyhow, I invested in the $12 bottle of red and shook it up to distribute the little particles. I confess- I put a **** ton of it on the bolt, but I am happy to say that it went on much snugger and after a settle in ride it seems to hold the elevation, and if it stays this way I don't think I'll ever need to mess with this again, man- that would be great! Thanks your recommendations and help. Oh yeah, I'm not getting any bump steer anymore, have a little scrubbing at the lock fringes, guess everything is finally settling in......

 

Haha, its all good. You'll just kick yourself in the butt when you have to remove that bolt
Red is high strength and typically requires heat to remove.
Blue is medium strength and can be disassembled with hand tools.
Both cure in the same 24hr period.

Hopefully now its all sorted out and you can enjoy it without worry.

 

Well everything looks good- ride heights are not changing and the truck feels good, I was really starting to wonder about that cross country trip I've got coming up.............

 

Cross country trip, sounds exciting. Where are you going to?

 

Got a wedding to go to in Tennessee, looks like there's a few righteous junk yards along the way, too........

 

There are. I would also start crawling Craigslist for anything you may want/need.

 

Thing is- there ain't much on craigs list around here. Besides, it's pretty therapeutic aimlessly digging around in a boneyard for untold hours..........

 

OK- I'm back, truck settled down to 33 1/4 fender height all around. I cranked up t bars and fenders are at 34" and it feels pretty good, right now I'm going back to spring over axle w/o the block and finding my U bolts are too long..............
