Why is my ride so damn rough?

Truely a one track mind!

 

Alright got some parts from @bullaculla now hopefully Saturday I can start doing some work!

 

Did you order the top plates from Ruff Stuff?

 

Don't know if it has been answered or not but with a setup like that with the shocks there should be a bigger spread from what I remember to where you have more travel in the rear shocks. Looks to be at too steep of an angle. Looks like you may be going a different route though anyway.

 

Yessir just waiting on them

 

Awesome.

 

I bolt flip might not get done this weekend though, but it will if the shocks go quick

 

Hey so the fab guy hasn't been able to do the job yet, but, the other day I was helping someone move some weightlifting stuff that was probably like total 300-400 pounds, and it felt a lot smoother, should I try putting weight in my bed when I go off-roading tomorrow and see if it helps my ride be smoother?

 

Not unless you've got the bump stops in. Even then, if your shocks top out before hitting the bumps, then you don't want to have any extra weight in there to pound them with.

 

Fab guy still hasn't been available, but new discovery, my shocks in the front are tundra shocks, so that solves why the front rides bad

 

I've heard of people putting Tundra coils for a lift, but not sure about shocks. Not unheard of. Can't recall if people said it rode nicely or not.

 

It defiantly does not ride nice, the coils are for a 1000 pound heavier vehicle, which puts too much stress on all the suspension system

 

And I say that, because just driving down the road today this happened, my lower ball joint came out and went onto my rim, luckily I was going slow and nothing else was damaged

 

Replace both when you fix that one - they've probably both seen some abuse :-/

 

The hole for your coil over assy on your LCA. looks to be out of round.

 

That's not actually that uncommon. I've heard about it happening quite a few times. Frankly, I'm amazed I haven't had to replace my LBJs yet (furiously knocking on wood) since I'm on my third set of UBJs in 4 years. But yeah, definitely replace both.

Edit: also, when you replace them, I recommend getting these bolts to replace the current ones instead of the ones the LBJ might come with...



I also use blue lock-tite on mine when I reinstall them after I've had them out. Heard about several cases where the LBJ bolts have backed out.

 

Yeah it's been like that since I bought it, I'm planning on getting total chaos lower control arms
