Yeah, put the rear axle up on jackstands, put it in gear, and then get out and watch the tires spin. If there's much wobble at all, balancing isn't going to fix it.
The only way I knew to fix it was to hotlink them from CORE. I remember that used to be a big no-no around here, especially on the FOTD thread. I'll check with my club web guy, and make sure it's cool...
In the meantime, I think they're showing?
Like so many others, this thread was pretty much ruined when pee-bucket got greedy and broke all the links. I can't go back and edit my old posts here, but I did redo the original writeup on my local club's board.

Yes. Not available over the counter, and it's a little pricey, but you can get it in a couple days from Amazon.

How did you weigh it? Actual axle weight, or total combined weight minus what you know your truck weighs?
Because 10% tongue weight would take another ~650# off the trailer axles.
So your 7000# axles are only seeing 5800 of it.
Sorry for the slow reply. I wanted to have something substantive to offer back.
First, thanks for the tip. You're right, I should do a little troubleshooting before I just throw parts at it.
Second, unfortunately, reseating the inner cable didn't work for me. Mine was actually broken, sort of...

Yesterday I replaced the brakeline from the prop valve back. Today, my always-been-jumpy speedometer doesn't work at all. I'm sure that while routing the brake line, I pushed or pulled the speedo cable enough to finally break it.
The only part number I can find...
I know exactly the one you mean, you can see it in my first few pics.
I just tightened the bolts and pulled the plate tight against that dimple. Seemed to seat nice n tight, and hasn't budged in years.
How old is this thread? Six years? I've driven mine daily and wheeled hard once a month, no...
I had already modified the hinges, to let me lift the doors off.
If you haven't (and don't intend to), I'm sure you could just unbolt the hinges from the door, remount them on the body, the bolt the door back on. It'll be more work getting the door aligned (may want to throw some fresh paint on...
Yep. Mine were a pain in the ass to get out, too. Ended up drilling some/most of them. (Too late to help you now, but I seem to remember the pass side pins were actually driven up into the hinge and have to go down and out, opposite the driver side...)
Mopar's right, a 1/4" bolt works...
Not 100% sure i understand what you're asking; It's just the stock hinge, factory installed in 1989. With two new holes drilled to bolt it to my plate.
The hinge itself is SO stout (1/2" think maybe?) I can't imagine having to replace it. The problem is where that slug of steel is welded to the...
Finally got a chance to run them head-to-head. I sold the Furd to a buddy, and we convoyed on a wheeling trip last weekend. Me in my Burb, toting the XJ. He was pulling his mild TJ with my old 2000 F250.
My gas 8.1 did in fact walk away from the 7.3 P-Stroke. Maybe if we were both pulling...
I should have. There's not one on the main drag on my side of town, so I never think of them when I'm searching. By the time you suggested it, I had already ordered - and paid - at AZ...
At any rate, got the bearing this morning, popped it right in before work. Fits the housing and the...
