RedMackWheeler Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hello, I am trying to prepare myself for the process of replacing the stand, shaft, bushings, saddles etc, on a '99 CL with 44k camelback. I was hoping that people could give me some insight into this process. I have seen the trunnion stands from Stengel Brothers that supposedly bolt in from underneath. Has anybody used these? what were your thoughts on it? I have heard you have to drill out the holes in the frame a couple of sizes larger to do it, is this true? How about finding the specs for tightening up the new bushings, washers etc on the new shaft? Is this possible to do if you have some time, and have some experience working on trucks but are not a professional suspension person? Any experiences or insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Dirtymilkman Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We installed one of those heavy ones a few years ago. Dealer quoted $1800 for labor. When we were done, we wished we gave the dealer the money. Lots of work, especially if you're not set up for it.
