You should just have to twist the coil to get it out of the tabs

thanks for the info dude my trucks been sitting there all ripped apart waiting on some better weather for atlest the rain to stop because im working outside do not have a shop at the moment

Yea that always sucks the big one. Let us know what you find when you do get it apart.

Also a tip, when you get the diff off of the beam drill and tap a drain plug in the bottom of the housing. Best mod i did to my front diff!

k i got the lower spring bolt out im just wondering what tabs you guys are talking about if its on the spring mount on the top because mines all redone up there to no longer has tabs just a solid circle peice that holds the spring so by the looks of it im going to have to use a spring compresser.

Is it a stock spring?

Do you have the shock out and the sway bar dissconected?

i dont think its stock its a longer one i never disconnected the sway bar

Disconnect the swaybar, have someone stand on the hub and push the axle beam down as far as they can (sometimes have to jump on it) and you can get the coil right out. I had 2" coil spacers in mine before it was lifted and I could still easially get the the coil in and out without a compressor. You have to have the truck supported by the frame not the front axle,, so you can make the axle beam go towards the ground.

alright thanks i was stepin on it but i think the problem was is that i didnt have the sway bar diconnected. yet again its pooring so gotta wait for it to stop..(N)

Yea the sway bay limits alot of the down travel. I threw mine away 3 years ago

hey guys finally got that DIFF out finding out my radius arm was almost cracked all the way threw but anyways the problem was when i got the truck from brandon roth the seal was leaking and he thought it just magically fixed it self but that was not the case all the fluid drained out and ive been driving it without fluid for a while all that was in there was water and mud it damaged all the bearings that what was causing it to bind up. so i should get it all fixed then im welding the spriders to

If its had no oil in it the gear set is probably shot aswell.

ya they might be warm out abit but they look good no broken or chiped teeth.

what gear ratio is the diff?

I've got an explorer d35 diff sitting here i might be persuaded to part with

hey umm the gear ratio is 373 how much coin would u roughly want for that?

I'll check to make sure the sploder is 3.73's

i'd say probably about $150 for the pumpkin
