CLOSED 5/31/20 GROUP BUY Dirt King LCA's Ball Joint Type GROUP BUY ENDS 5/31/20 CLOSED

My stock weight truck is currently way oversprung with fronts tuned for 5800 and U402 stage 3 out back. Basically a bounce house.

 

So I recently went on a fire trial that had some rocks in the trail and my steering wheel was turning pretty bad. It even does it on pot holes. Would that be an indicator on bad lca bushings?

 

Depends, could just be bump steer? How wide are your wheels, what size tires are you running, how many miles on your truck, what lift do you have? Lots of variables that need to be looked at before I can give you any type of reasonable answer.

 

I’ll pm you so I don’t clog up this thread.

 

Clog away it's info that might help another member as well.

 

If someone blew up my truck I think these Marlin Crawler braces would be the only thing left

 

Nice welds, alot better than mine, and yes, thay are 100% beef.

 

Thanks. I definitely ain’t gonna win any contests but they will hold. There was a lot more to weld than I expected with these. Glad I can start reassembling now

 

I have some other off topic questions for him but I’ll report back with a summarized version of our conversation.

 

Beef my friend, now can someone tell me how these work etc?

 

i can tell you that after they're in you can clearly feel how much flex was happening at the LCA pivots before they were installed. front end feels strong like a proper truck now. the front end always felt mushy and too car-like. just talking about the driving.

 

CAM tabs will not bend, and lower control arm mounts won't fold over when dragging your truck over jagged rocks.

 

So once I get it aligned it pretty much will never move etc?

 

lol Ive been waiting to do my lowers and UCA gussets. Or UCA gussets and then LCAs

 

they are not locks like welding in a tab. for the cams they are like big time protectors.

 

Trust me, alignment will stay spot on, mine has been dune tested.

 

if you never want it to move, check out Taco Tabs by Poly Performance.

 

Well after all of this work, it's only right to finish it off with a mirror polish and full detail. Hay @Unchained 5150 check out this paint. Like a mirror.

 

Yeah buddy we're like twins

 

This is today after a full cure of the paint sealant.
