I went out and pulled the axles today. I was surprised how beefy they are for stock half ton stuff. It also appears to have the big bearing housings. I was able to get in touch with Moser and they said if I make an appointment they can do the work the same day i take them up there.

I'm going to take them to Moser here soon. They said to make an appointment and they can do them the same day in as little as a few hours.

Made the trip to Moser today and had my axles and drums redrilled. I also had them install 3" long screw in studs. Very nice place to deal with and the cute girl in the office helped out as well.

So there's more to Portland than the swap meet. I didn't know Moser was there.

Can't say I've been to the swap meet. In my circles, it's quite a big deal though.

Drool and leer and make her feel uncomfortable! :lol: Or, if you wanna be discreet, pretend to call someone on the phone, keep looking at it pretending to check the bars, and click pics. :mrgreen:
How did she help? Keep you occupied while you were waiting?
