Replacing Rear End and Springs in 2003 Big Horn - Anything I need to know?
Hey there. Recently my truck was hit in the right read wheel area which broke the axle, bent the housing and also bent one of the leaf springs. I'm planning to replace the two leaf springs and rear end assembly with wrecking yard items. The frame doesn't appear to be bent.
Obviously I plan to clean/paint everything, replace the differential fluid, inspect/replace any seals. Replace brake pads/rotors if needed. Replace U-Joint. Shocks.
Anything I'm missing? I've done rear-end swaps in the past with no problems. But is there anything specific to these models or any gotcha's I need to be aware of?
Thanks!
