1st Gen on 37's, Long Travel. Completion Date: TBD

the uniball in the lower arm relative to the hub, this is a given on a 4x4 but not default on a 2x4

 

Day one was successful

 

Brings a tear to my eye lol

 

day 2: not great progress, caster is giving me issues

 

Is that what you're referring to by the spindles being at a forward angle?

 

yes, did this happen when you installed yours? it almost seems like i have the wrong uca's

 

Is this the xlt kit or the LT one?

 

Xlt

 

well, need longer tie rods. Solo said they would be here tomorrow, I swear my truck is half tundra from the factory

 

Could you measure them and the new ones? I didn't get through taking my wheels off today - just checked quickly with them on and it looks a little similar to yours...

 

tierods: current is 10.125", new ones should be 11.5". or are you referring to the caster settings?

 

Yeah just the tie rods - I'll have to do an alignment later on down the road - just fired up my engine for the first time yesterday!

Thanks Sean! I'll measure mine in a minute. What are you looking to get for caster?

 

ride height should be 4.25* caster, 0 camber. these are based on simply putting the suspension were i assume ride height will be and adjusting from there. i will do a real alignment once its on the ground and been around the block

 

How do you measure them w/o the wheels?

 

put a digital level on the spindle face/bottom these are machined surfaces and will get you close as a preliminary alignment

 

Should have thought of that lol Thanks!

 

Still waiting on tie rods. Can’t progress until those show up.

 

What springs do you plan on running on the 8"ers? And solo said they'd send me out some longer tie rods next week

 

18-500-300 also have a set of 18-600-300 if those are too soft with this kit

 

I have 600's and they put me ridiculously high. I haven't installed a bumper or a winch that I'll be adding so I left it for now.
