UJOR Build Thread

Installing the new 5r110 output shaft I noticed it threaded toward the end. I also noticided a torque spec for a "output shaft nut" which is supposed to thread onto this, but it's not something I noticed mentioned in the installation instructions or provided with the kit. Is this something not required?

Thats for a 450, no need to worry.

Nice weekend up in PA attending the Mid Atlantic Overland Festival. Good weather, good people, good times. Maiden voyage with V4 and the new suspension was a success, it handles nice on the road!

While I was gone the guys installed the 2.5 lift on the Transit. Stock Transit wheels with 265/75/16 Toys AT2s.

What is instagram?
A form of social media, I don't do those things... ya, I'm primitive.

Wow, that is a low profile setup, nice!

On the coil spring conversions track bar frame bracket which shares 2 of the mounting locations for the steering box, Is it ok to use the factory bolts since there is slightly less thread engagement?

I notice a new part on your page, the CK002-DL (a longer drag link adjuster), since I planned on doing the steering this weekend with a factory adjuster, Im wondering if the factory adjuster will have enough threads?

Another_mike - Yes reuse the factory bolts and the stock adjuster will work just fine.
