    Nice dude. I reached out to him a bit ago about the kit. If I do LT I would get that.

    He said he would. A couple month lead time. He was pretty busy with some other projects.

    Aren't the majority of the LBJ problems on 1st gens with the stupid 4 bolts? At least most I have seen seem to have been.

    Eh. Sorta. I had bolts go out once. The joints themselves twice. Know if a few other that have done both.

    Hit and miss.

    Locktite on the bolt solves that. And changing out LBJs on time also solves it.

    I checked my balljoints (moog) today and they are still tight and greased.

    I should change mine out. I think I went 3 seasons on them. Pretty risky stuff.

    Nice. Show us the finished result when you get them done.

    I never had stock suspension on my truck. How long would be a 5 over lower? My lca is 18" long so I assume it's a 3.5". something like 19.5 to 20"

    Thanks, will do, but it will take time, not rushing it and working on it here and there. Not sure how long . but I meant 5+ as in the whole kit altogether not just the lower.

    I've never had any problems with mine. I have always run moogs with good luck I guess. My truck only gets a few thousand miles a year buts its 99% dirt miles.

    I thought about getting the solo spindle with uniball adapter. Its just alot of cash for something that may or may not work with my kit. Can't imagine it wouldn't work with minimal modification.

    Minimal modification? Yea right. It has a horizontal upper uniball. That's not minimal modification..

    You'll have to build a new upper control arm. You also may want to ask solo how close the kpi of their spindle is to your oem spindle. That could throw your kits geometry completely off.
