    front end issues

    ghoff-- the pitman has been dropped and runs parallel to the trackbar. the pivot point is off but i dont think that matters. the latest suggestion is to upgrade to a 35 inch 1250 tire and possibly rear shackles. as far as the tires go, they mentioned something about "scrub" and not having...

    front end issues

    front end issues

    i just got back from having another guy look at it who actually works on crawlers and he disagrees with using the pro comp lift because the front springs are so stiff. i think im going to try the steering stabilizer and see how that works for now. he also said that everything looks right and...

    front end issues

    the thing that sucks is i stayed with the four inch lift because i heard that it really didnt lead to any other problems or require any additional work. once again im ignorant, and it seems to have bit me in the ass.

    front end issues

    dieseldork- i guess the truth had to come out sometime--- i dont know crap about trucks, according to them i got everything i needed. i doubt if they installed anything above and beyond the lift, especially since the truck is driving like crap. luckily i found a new guy that i really trust...

    front end issues

    JL- i dont know about that, how would i be able to check? i had the lift put on at a "four wheel parts" shop and the guy that did it worked for ford for 18 years( or so i was told). so i assumed they did everything up to par. is that something that can be addressed easily or am i taking the...

    front end issues

    yeah and the alignment is good too, one thing i dont have to worry about. there are other issues, its really hard to turn the wheel when im barely moving forwards and there is a thunk when i first roll forward after being parked(while pulling straight out of a spot)
