Growth spurt!
« on: June 21, 2008, 02:49:21 AM »
Just upgraded my lift today! Ordered a set of 4" Teraflex springs with JKS control arms & SYE & driveshaft from Carolina driveline & extended brake lines. Hopefully it'll all get here next week. 8)

Cool! After you install the control arms, go get it aligned. Trust me, it will save your tires and avoid the dreaded death wobble...

I'm surprised Sears did a good job. When I finished my lift I brought mine to a Belle Tire in Ann Arbor that had a good reputation for alignments. As I went to pick it up I could see that the whole front axle was still shifted to one side. I asked the guy about the track bar adjustment and he said according to the book the track bar isn't adjustable. I knew at that point he only knew how to do what was in the books and really didn't align anything except the toe. They only charged me half price so I brought it to a 4x4 shop in Lansing and he did a great job.
