Here's a fun little update, been busy moving into my new place, comes with a 25'x40' shop so no more single car garage work for me. Which also means I cant use it as an excuse for any ghetto fab work
I also managed to finish off the trucks windshield with a tree branch over the weekend, final destination style for extra points
Was riding solo when it happened, only missed my pretty face by a few feet
Keep some space open for my truck in that shop. My wife is making me cage it 🙄 Also what's the plan for the windshield?
I think the hose clamp and the pitman arm puller clamping down both helped out a lot, we had the welder already running for a different repair so we figured may as well hit the leaf also. I am going to pack a lot more hose clamps from now on, the shackles and bolts are a good idea, I have some spare shackles sitting around that I may bring along with some bolts on trips like these where youre way out away from the trailer. Out in the desert I bring spare leafs in the tow rig which is just a quick mission to camp and back, but on the Rubicon the tow rig is quite a ways away lolI broke a leaf at hammers last year and hose clamped it. Those hold amazingly well, wheeled the rest of the week like that. I've always heard welding leafs back together was a waste of time, but I guess yours help up?
Edit: After I hose clamped them back together I borrowed a setup from another wheeler. 2 old shackles and a couple bolts and sandwiched them back together. Held the rest of the week. I now carry a similar setup. Works great. Always cook to see some actual wheeling pics. We did rubicon about a month ago and are hitting fordyce this weekend.
Sorry for the late response, just had the tires off and grabbed a measurement, but not really at street pressure, reads 36" exactly at 9psi, my compressor ain't working at the moment other than my dinky little car one37 bias Treps?
Have any idea what they measure out to for diameter at street pressure, but without the weight of the truck on them? Thanks!

A guy I know runs the 6 shooters and says he never needs to re-torque his studs, even with 40" tires, which made me lean towards the 6 shooters. Although i will be checking them every trip like usual. I looked into the trunnion eliminators, and was going to order a set and use them with the marlin highsteer arms but found that the arms used different sized pins so they wouldn't work together. Eventually ill go with the trunnion eliminators since I hate dealing with the bearings and now have compatible arms6 shooters alone won't help with what you broke. The trunion eliminators will though. Imo, they're superior to the bearings. They only go back and forth 40* so a roller bearing isn't necessary.
You can break the pin off with the studs are torqued down.
Fairly uncommon for that to happen though. My regular wheeling group are full body rigs on 40s with toy axles and they've yet to break a trunion.You didn't break the studs though, you broke the pin? You can break the pin off with the studs are torqued down.
