Yo Bobby,
Welcome!
Previous owners often devise off the wall "fixes".
When you have time, please fill out Profile and Signature with year, engine/tranny/Xfer case/hub type info & major mods such as a Lift, etc. for better responses.
Try to limit any questions you have to one per post so we don't get confused because I am old and often forget my name.
Click your name in right black panel in upper right;
In pop up,
Click, My Profile
Click, Edit My Profile in right side black panel
In left panel, Click, Edit Signature
Enter info
Click, Save Changes
Looking forward to pics and helping!
