Got my wheels/tires from discount tire. Everything looks great, and the 315 look huge compared to stock, but I didn't get the spline lug adapter, so I got the first wheel on bit not tightened. They are overnighting a new tool, but I'm out of commission for the moment. Either way, I'm excited!

Well, yesterday i got my arb locker installed. Driving it around more today on my commute every time i brake it sounds like my rear end is going to fall out. Pretty sure the shop set up the backlash way on the loose side. As i did not have this before.

And also i had to go back and fix the air leak because the did not install the transition piece from copper line to airline right and it was also missing the oring inside to seal it. Wish i had the tools i would have done it myself.

Hopefully they will fix it, if not the slamming is so loud and hard it would not surprise me if it started chipping the teeth.

PM who did it so I take them off my list of shops to trust to install gears so far I only have 1, and it’s a drive from San Diego. If I had a lift I would just do it in the vehicle,

Wow! That's a big name place for that type of work. Don't they do quantities of rear ends, gears, lift work? That is astounding. I'm sure they will be be embarrassed. Maybe call them and have them come pick it up on a flat bed? ?

Holy crap dude! Sorry for your misfortune. Exhibit A of why I hate letting any shop touch my vehicles. I can’t do gears, so I’m at there mercy for that kind of stuff too. I hope they make it right and repair anything that may have been Fubared.
