A rear rebuild with a new set of gears is probably in order at this point, maybe while your in there a new diff case as well.
New shims under the sun gear (2 big gears in the diff).
Push the suspension ALL the way up, not just push the truck down to the table... all the way up. See the a arm and cvd getting into the outdrive?
This needs to become it's own thread so it's easier to find, many people have this same problem.
i'm not really getting what your saying... your talking about the little white pieces need to go under the little black rubber washer at the bottom of the shocks correct? also you say i need new shims under the sun gear?@?@|!? what size are the shims? where do they go again? and where do i get them? is there a picture tutorial on this anywhere?
