Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

To much to take in all at once , looks good

 

Thank you!

 

Looks good. You should add some spacers to get a little more height

 

To your adjustable coil overs

One more...

 

It's all about that mad lift bro.

 

I've been getting an irritating shake in my steering wheel ever since the last wheeling trip. I also noticed a slight "clunk" when hitting big bumps at speed. I tried just changing my outer tie rods first but the shake was still there. So, I ordered some inner tie rods and it got a lot better. Funny thing is, the inner tie rods were a little loose but still had no play. I guess that tiny bit of looseness amplifies any shakes from my tires.

 

After replacing my inner and outer tie rods I needed to set the toe alignment again. Since it was just toe, I didn't want to pay for a full alignment at a shop so I did it like this. It may not be as accurate as the lasers at the alignment shop, but good enough for me. It's set at about 1/8" toe in now. I got the procedure from jberry's "alignment at home" thread, except I marked the tire with chalk.

 

but is the clunk gone?

 

Yeah, clunk is gone. Must have been the inner tie rods.

 

Safety check soon? I see pro comps back on. I'm getting ready for inspection next month. Took the wheel spacers off already, just need to find my mud flaps.

 

No, I had to take the iroks off to try and get them balanced. After the last wheeling trip several of the tires were out of balance. I don't know why. I'm having the beads taken out and having them balanced with wheel weights.

 

I highly recommend the road force balance. I tried Goodyear a couple times and still had issues. Then I did the road force balance and it's perfect

 

Where did you take it?

 

Hawaiian tire and Auto in Aiea. $50 per tire. I just did the fronts, but I haven't rotated since then. My truck tracks straight and solid.

 

Hot damn that's expensive.

 

Or you can drive to Goodyear 3 separate times to get them rebalanced over and over and never be happy. I'm just saying... This was one of those things that was worth the money...

 

I got my tires from discount last year and haven't had to rebalance once yet. Just luck I guess

 

Sometimes the larger tires are more a PITA to balance. Hence some of the guys run beads in them. Hit and miss. Goodyear couldn't get it as tight and I had some shaking and a slight pull that wouldn't go away until I did the road force balance. I guess everyone has different outcomes with various methods and I was going crazy with the balance issue until I tried the force balance method. I'm like you and everyone else. I hate spending money on what seems to be trivial shit... Lol

 

Truth

 

My guess for the high cost is that they might have to break the bead/dismount to rotate the tire on the wheel, vs having just a normal wheel weight balance.
