where is @Running Board Man aka Frontier Man aka jamesboy

 

Kings or gtfo

 

goodness 2"
i cannot use those coilovers i guess
need to find what keeps me where i am at

 

Nobody really cares though

 

my oem LBJs could 'probably' go north of 200k with no change out
but they are very aged at this point

 

i do, why don't you?

 

I'm in CA, and my 555 LBJs look orange.

The OEM LBJs with 220k or so miles still have their metallic finish but looser than a Street Fighter II Turbo joystick at a laundromat.

 

are the two of you fighting?

 

Was that the problem with her? Way to loose?

 

I'll likely be going moog on my ball joints when they're needed. Lot of peeps will flame me but lots of the 5 luggers use them with no issues and thrash em hard.

Just gotta know when shit needs to be replaced. I ran the lbjs on my previous ram until the truck would screech with each speed bump and turn of the wheel. (stupid, I know) Tirepros fixed them for me but said it was hanging on a thread before shit would fall apart lol.

 

I've never had that issue with any of them being 'way too loose'

 

the finish on mine are a bit weathered

the FF drizzle helped a lot

 

Lol

 

Good thing you don't have the same issues our 6 lugs do regarding LBJs but IIRC, aren't you on lift spindles?

I thought some of those used uniballs for the upper; unsure for the lower.

 

Probably grass fed too. Sumbtch I'm missing out on sum yumm yumm there. High dollar feed lot supermarket beef got me crying by the grill.

 

GET OEM BALL JOINTs.



the uppers are like 62 bucks each. Lowers if you buy the kit are less than 200

 

gonna be buying the spindles here soon, as well as likely a spacer to go with it. I got my insurance check but been paying bills and now have to renew the registration on my truck for 2 years for 100 bucks by the 15th. Sadly, we don't get uniballs with lift spindles and have to go LT in order to get that for our 5 lugs. Only issues 5 lugs have is their LBJ brackets are weak. (some have broken them, but they jump their 5lug's like they have LT) I'm hoping eventually I can find someone to machine them like this guy used to
