sorry the 12 point socket is for the bolt in the rag joint and is found on the later models my bad

bit

tape works well around the ends to prevent scratches

bit

as i recall a 12 point socket for the rag joint a 5/8s for the 3 bolts on the frame and if you changing the pitman arm then you will need the puller for that and the ball joint for that hooks to the pitman arm

dalton look at the thread new truck the black and white is lowered as much as you can go and stay off the stops and i straightened the i beams to get the camber correct, they are not drop axles. the blue truck is a ltd swap and by far the best riding and driving one. bit

not sure if you swapped engine also if not that is your problem. if you used a older 302 the fly wheel is balanced different i think 81 is when they changed the balance
