removing the inner rear wheel, does that put different stress on the wheel bearing and axles?

here is the i winter front ifinally got from lordcobackorder wednesday.


That is one bad *** looking rig you got there. Man I came so so close to buying a Dually when I got my 2500. Awesome truck man!!
I also just got rid of my Warn 9500 Ti winch with the Multi Mount. I was going to put it on my front bumper but it stuck out WAY too far and looked stupid.

thank you, it is nice to get compliments about our baby from my peers. as for the multi mount i didn't want to go with a full bumper, so i put a drawtite front receiver on so i could winch from the front or the back, and carry it on the front, they are both rated at 9000 lbs and witha 19000 lb ****** block it doubles.

I just noticed that you have something comming out of your grill area hooking onto one of your towhooks. What's that?

That is a nice truck, of coarse my opinion is a little bias.

i zap strapped the block heater cord to the tow hook, i'm lazy, so i don't want to keep opening the hood to dig it out.

I think I see one of these in your future

WIGIDIGIT BLOCK HEATER BUMPER PLUG ('03-'08 DODGE)




Item Number :WD-BHP



Unit Price: $36.95



Detailed Description


The block heater provided on the Cummins Turbo Diesel makes for quick warm-ups on cold mornings, and it is almost a necessity in the norther latitudes. But, rooting around behind the bumper in cold, soggy weather just to find and uncover the plug can certainly discourage its use.
Install a WigiDigit Block Heater Bumper Plug on your truck, and you have the heater connection located on a fixed position right up front behind a flip-open, waterproof cover. One hand can snap open the cover then plug in the power cord.
Installation consists of simply wiring in the 15-amp Marinco Connect Charge (TM) inlet plug into the factory block heater cord, and mounting the black, powder-coated bumper plate with one stainless steel bumper bolt

I routed mine so that it comes out next to the tow hook, behind thebumper. It stays there in one place and I don't have to hunt for it.

Wont put any stress on the axle (full floating) and the stress on the wheel bearings isnt a concern, your fronts run like that all the time with no problems. However I would suggest pulling the outter tires insted of the inner that way they track in the same track as the front tires.
