"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike

you bet man,  Allpro  is  a good  company  with great  people  behind it, 

remember  Marlin  when you need  drivetrain  and stuff    and Allpro  has  items  that Marlin doesnt have

we trust you to  share   :beerchug:

looked it up in the FSM and its 67 ft'lbs...

talked to infernal earlier .. what a cool guy, extremely helpful on the phone and on the board, now its going to be tough to choose between marlin and allpro when ordering parts because of the awsome customer service that infernal provided.  thanks  again.    check this thread next weekend for updates after i fix everything and install bumbstops
No problem at all man glad I could help.

How much of a spacer did you need between the stop and the spring bolt plate?  (I still need bump stops..)

Has your ford shock towers riped off the frame yet?  :D  If not, they could.  Weld in some supports from the top of the frame to the back side of the shock tower.

And the million dollar question..   Does your tire hit the body mount anymore now that you have new shackles and bump stops????

Just do that same thing with the wheel cranked and you'll find out. Easier to test the front by lifting the back though. :twocents:
