When that happens, you install a mounting plate (1x4 hardwood board or plate metal).

1x4 - its actual thickness is 3/4 of an inch
plate metal - up to you, but ive used 1/4 plate before.

Then you span the studs, from there then you center the tv mount onto the mounting plate you choose and center.

Thumbs up Mannys Diff Install

Long story short - dude drove from laredo cause he saw my DIY and wanted me to install his Quaife LSD. Well he got bearings from Oreilly and they were WRONG. NO one in DFW had them in stock cept courtesy - BUT they only had one. Snagged that one - and got some new tools from HF and did my best. - OUTCOME - a smiling customer who already gave up on getting the install completed.. Ballin!

Mannys Car - NIIIICE


LE37s with a +12 offset


FRONT side shot


Open DIFF out..






Jason Z-YA - FRANKENSTEIN SOCKET FTMFW!!!!!!






completed - used Bearings off of his Diff and put them on the Quaiffe.

blah, get a local tire shop to fix it... up to you..

Yep, tried that, Discount wouldnt touch, and even my little mexican friend in garland said, no cando. Its just outside the the tread, and my tread is just short of showing wear inicator on that tire On a good note, I got a guy to pull a rabbit out of his hat and get me bridgestones for 243 each, the drag is Courtesy charges 37 bucks per tire for mount and balance

JLS2GOZ- i might know someone who can get you into a set of used like 80% tread left for about 85 a tire.. let me know if you would be interested. they usually take brand requests.

JAKE!!!!- i think i need you to re-look at my studs/ spacers bc i am getting a little vibration when im going over 55. also if you have time maybe we could look at my spring mounts.. let me know if you have any time this week!
