Yup !

[Adaa60]

does anyone else see anything that could use a look at?

[scout man]

looked to me like your sway bar link was bent at the threads... but the more I look at it the more I think its just the picture.

[The StRanger]

Balistic fab double sheer...

That rear bumper needs a closer look...

[scout man]

[Adaa60]

Noticed the same thing. Still can't decide for sure.

Your front axle location is....well.....funky.

Look at the bumpstops in the coils.

The swaybar disco's should be mounted under the swaybar IIRC.


Check out my site for new Bilsteins.....seriously (no pun intended).

The swaybar disco's should be mounted under the swaybar IIRC.The discos look OK to me. Look at the pics in Rob's intro thread, springs look centered at static height.

I hope those rear shocks match the lift.

this. they might be right, but that can happen when they're not.

[Serious Offroad]

The discos look OK to me.
I didn't 'member correctly....

I'm thinking the axle is too far to the drivers side....

Good call guys!

as we had it on the lift this morning we found that the track bar was off by an inch to the passanger side, also found every single tie rod end was old and un cared for. im ordering a hevy duty steering system and replaceing all tierod and tierod ends with Off road ones as soon as i can find a new set.

the track bar is already heavy duty off road from Skyjacker so im going to just have it re-ajusted this afternoon while the new rear shock is replaced.

** also as a side note, when the new shock was put on the first time. retard tightened it to the axel with an impact gun, far far too tight witch is why it snapped the head off. the guys at the shop were very sorry about the snapped shock and they offered to not only replace the shock but also fix the trac bar and give the truck a full alignment free of charge

[Rick]

replace the shock but also fix the trac bar and give the truck a full alignment free of chargethats awesome. What shop is that?

[Chris]

That shop deserves recognition!

[Adaa60]

i cant remember the name, its a little mexican tire store next to 4wheel parts.

when i first busted the shock everyone wanted to charge me $130 -$200 to repair the broken weld on the axel bracket & replace the shock and bolt.

this place fixed it the first time for $88 for me. there super nice and i get our used tires and stuff done on our Acura there a lot. in fact i think i get almost everything done there because i trust them and they have never lied to me or screwed me over like other shops have. and they will allow you to bring your own replacement parts if you want to.


Here is the place, as i said its a little mexican shop. but there honest and fair priced

Way to go to that shop for stepping up and taking care of things. What steering are you going to go with?

[Adaa60]

i dont know yet, im going to look in a little while. i know i want the new style ends not the older rubber ones i want polly like i had all over meh drift toy

Heres an old video of my Sc300, it has the 2jz-ge with 75hp wet shot of nos but i wasn't spraying this run. this video was my 9th run and last run of the day, i was trying to pop my tires before the day was over. was a great day. i took 8th place out of 40 and i was the only one there with no lsd, mostly stock, no E-break and automatic. was also the biggest heaviest car as well.

Remember, If its lifted from the frame it pulls that axle to the drivers side by about an inch ................
