Title: Growth spurt!
Post by: BayouGold 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)

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.
