Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

not sure if this will help but I will be tackling this thread first thing if I end up with any vibs at all.

Maybe try taking the FK29 out? I have the 885x's and Dakars with nothing to compensate for the new angles from lifting and have no vibrations. I would try the FK29 off and see if the vibration worsens or gets better.

 

Just want to make sure I have this correct. if I get 885s and billies set at 0 i will have 3" of lift and a smooth ride. if I get 884 and billies set at .85 the i still get 3" but the ride is stiffer slightly due to pre-laoded coil.

Also it seems like i could still drive without new UCAs but I would probably want them installed asap.

 

You wont get 3" out of 884s even with it preloaded.

 

Try the idea above first taking out the FK29 spacer out. If that doesn't work, the next stop are axle shims. I'd start with 2% and test having them on/off with the FK29.

 

Also for a DCLB, you won't get 3" from 885 alone. You will need the top plates/spacers. Also at 3" you will most likely need after market UCA's. It's 2.5" and below that is a hit or miss with stock UCA's.

 

2.5? what about the 885

 

884's will get you about 2" on DCLB
885's will get about 2.5" on DCLB

 

ok thanks for the help, ill get the 885s and hope i can pull it off and just save up for some TC UCAs.

 

If you can wait, just save your money and buy and put everyting on in one shot. If you are 2wd, 3" lift on the front is ideal. As for the rear, try to get a full leaf pack or at least the icon progressives as just adding an add a leaf, it's super stiff.

 

headstrong offroad has the best price I could find on LR UCAs....they were $375 as of last week.

 

Dakars ?

 

yes

 

Can anyone tell me if these are good alignment numbers??? Also it took me and a friend 3 hours start to finish...

Took the FK29 spacer out and the vibration was slightly better. That spacer is 1/4" and also goes with the 885's which give a little more lift than the 884's. Is it dumb to think going with a couple washers at about 1/8" might be the ticket? I guess it never hurts to try it.

 

They are not

 

?

The FK29 spacer drops the centre bearing

 

It's that bad to prematurely wear my brand new tires?

 

The camber doesn't seem too bad , just really low caster , did you not get UCA's ?
