    these aren't precision machine parts. each axle is a little different, and will mate up to the springs differently than the last. hell, there's enough tollerance in the spring perch hole for the centering pin, that you can losen the u-bolts, shift the axle, and retighten, and you will have altered the thrust angle enough to make your steering wheel crooked.

    similar thing happened to me this weekend. all i did was take out old axle shims, and after i have everything bolted back up, my steering wheel was off by a good 20 degrees.

    I need taller ramps

    Gonna upgrade to DOM links with heim joints and those Johnny joints. Gonna push my axle back a bit when I do upgrade. Also gonna make the upper links a little longer to shim the axle housing a bit upwards.

    you looked into the icon billit links?

    wheeled a couple times with an FJC that had them, and oh em gee......
    absolutely beautiful. fully adjustable, and you'll get all the travel you could ask for out of them.

    You make me sound like an alcoholic. I don't drink on a daily basis, I barely drink on the weekends but yes I would hammer down a 12 pack when I do.
