Hello .. New to this forum "Tie-rod problem"

wtf!

so let me get this straight, on flat ground your truck sits at such an angle that you need to extend you tie rods :/

heres my suggestion loose all the other shit under the truck run the 6 inch lift and 35's and if you must stick to a 2 inch body lift as anything more than 2" is not really safe from what i have seen and heard.

i have been inside of an old runner that had a 3 inch bl and on the trail when the truck flexed and leaned i could feel the body literally shift to one side of the frame :/ you don't need to be bmw engineer to know thats not exactly safe.

also i wouldn't give this truck to my wife to drive the way it is i don't care what dealership had it in the air and said it was ok. imagine if you will swerving to avoid an obstacle going over 25 or 30 mph :/ your going to roll that bitch right over.

 

what kind of axle swap are you going to do including labor for 7k

its my understanding that unless you want a really bargain basement setup your going to be spending a little more than that especially when you factor in labor.

 

so the coil overs are adjustable I'm assuming. Why not jack them up to 2" and loose the spacers? Or are they jacked up to 3" PLUS the spacer??

 

x1,000,000

 

ive taken corners going fast and never had any sway or body roll or anything everything on the truck works great and still runs smooth and fast and safe .. ive taken it up steep inclines and everything and havent has any problems and my gf drives it all the time .. like i told the other guy dont knock it till youve driven it and looked at the set up .. im not some little kid with daddys money and dont know anything about cars or truck .. and the off road shops in my town also said its a good lift and was put together good so they wouldnt be in business for 20+ years if they didnt know something about lifts .. not sure what all they were going to do for the swap but like i said i know them also so i get a better price but i like the truck and i have no problems with it it works for what i use it for

 

ah...sorry man...its late lol

 

guys....stop being assholes

 

they are 5100s and adjusted to the 3'' plus the 6inch fabtech spacers for there lift on top of the coilovers and then it has a 1/2'' spacer on the drives side and a 1/4'' spacer on the pass side to make up for the weight of the gas tank ... this is what the guy told me that owned the truck before me and i see all of it on there so i know thats all there

 

thank you lol like i said it does what i want it to and im happy with it

 

heres the specs again and the ones on the first few pages werent right so i asked the guy who owned it before me for a detailed list of what all has been done to it

okay

 

But its funny, he thinks I'm jealous...of what I'm not sure. Near as I can tell the only thing that would make me feel comfortable about owning this thing was the re-gear. I know the OP is in Texas so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. I understand its fun to have a monster truck, butwhat's the point if you can't really wheel it? And perhaps he should be holding on to his money for when factory parts start going to hell from all of this lift instead of worrying about an SAS swap. Unless dude is just loaded like that...

 

You LITERALLY made me LOL!!!!!!!

You fuckin' crack me up!!!!!!! +1

 

gear swap is awesome i love it the truck still hauls ass and moves the 38s great .. i can go off road if i want and i have but i have other 4x4s and side by sides that i have alot more fun in bc i can get thru the trails better with them my truck is too big for some spots we go to but its all good everyone loves my truck and i love it and it gets the job done and im still working on new mods for it to change up some of the stuff the other guy did to it .. plus its 2wd so i dont plan on getting into to much bs with it .. oh and loaded yeah i make damn good money and have a damn good job .. like i said earlier im not a kid lol ive been a mechanic my whole life but thats not my job .. im a natural gas pipeline operator thats 30+ a hour

 

That's good bro, you're gonna need the cash when stuff starts to break...oh and when your tires go to shit from the mall crawling and other types of douchery there goes $500 a piece.

 

i dont go to the mall but ok like i said earlier those 38s are gone when they go bad and ill switch to the 35 km2s i get those alot cheaper

 

Yay! Another magical hook up. Tell you what, if you want a real hook up, make a trip out here then I'll take you and "Lurch" down to NC to Dennis Anderson's shop. I'm sure they could figure out a way to get your trucks body on a Gravedigger chassis. Then it would be much more fun and would fit in great out there!

And btw, you don't need to go to the mall to own a mall crawler, you just have to do shit like this...

 

my dad runs a auto repair and tire shop in pearland yep i do have a good hookup ..

look its magic

 

Look at you Mr.smarty pants, figured out how to use the fancy google machine. Its a good thing your truck had the Detroit locker out back other wise I'm not sure she'd have the ability to make it past that obstacle in your picture just above

Did you know your truck cries itself to sleep every night?

 

lol yeah ok
