wayno Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I have bolted hijackers onto my 521 without any issues other than they rubbed on something(I don't recall now), they lasted for several years, after they rubbed thru I replaced them with some coil over shocks and I installed the overload air bags, when I had the hijackers I still had the stock bed floor. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Does this truck have 4X4 leafs on it? I went back a few pages, but the photos are gone so I gave up looking and decided to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah, but it's a truck! my thoughts exactly. lol Does this truck have 4X4 leafs on it? I went back a few pages, but the photos are gone so I gave up looking and decided to ask. It does. new shocks all around too. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 So I went back a page and noticed something, you have the 2 piece drive shaft in it right now? If you do look at the rubber piece that is bolted to the cross member at the carrier, if the rubber is deteriorating and the drive line can move to the side it could possibly start rubbing on the housing that holds the rubber piece in, that would make a metal to metal squeaking sound, and since the truck is lowered, the drive line itself might not know where it wants to be, it might not have squeaked at first till it settled into the position that caused it to squeak. Also you might look at the drive line yoke going into the transmission, when lowered does the drive line compress all the way and force the front drive line piece/yoke farther into the transmission and maybe bottom it out, and the squeak was the yoke outside dust sheild either being forced to the side and rubbing the side of the tail shaft, or maybe the yoke is just being pushed to far into the transmission and the yoke inside is rubbing on the end of the tail shaft that holds the seal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yeah, but it's a truck! Then do not whine when you put heavy loads in a lowered truck!!! LOL What size blocks re in the back? Do you have much suspension movement front and back before hitting stops. Measure your rear bed hieghth empty and then load your bike and measure again. Also wuth the bike loaded look under the truck at the drive line and the bump stops if you have any. Measure the axlehousing to frame clearance loaded. This is one of my favorite 521s so please do not "fuck it up"!!! LOL Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 this post is for tanker. did some wheel fitment with some titans i bought a few years ago. ran into issues. they don't clear the nubs on the hubs. but got enough threads on the lugs to take pics. lol hubs would need machining. rears would need grinding. not sure if i want to go to all that trouble. especially living in an apartment. on the fence. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 So if the wheel fits flush to the hub,then just get longer wheel stems. There cheap and doable. But titans are ugly in my opinion. Unless your Jrock. But its your truck and it will still look good, i just think there overdone. 1 Quote Link to comment

I still think they're good looking wheels. If they cleared i would run them. but right now i don't think so. 2 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 You just need to open up the wheel bores. Can be done with a woodworking router and a rabbeting bit. 3 Quote Link to comment

What Matt said should work. Get tires mounted and make it work. The back will slide right on. And yes flush is key. And it will look good. 1 Quote Link to comment
greenthumb Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 confirm on the router with rabbeting bit will work very well. They fit very well actually. If you want to run the Nissan centrecaps on the front, you may need to either run a small spacer or flatten the bearing caps a little 2 Quote Link to comment
