    too much spring and you need new UCA's to even get the caster in the positive with your 5" lift in front :laugh:

    any reason you thought 886's were a good idea on your 2.7L AC ???

    No, no pulling, just the top of the tire touched the UCA, not sure if that was pre lift or after hitting the rock in the mid hole after getting sucked to the inside

    Nope. Loosened the two brake brackets and very carefully moved the lines and wiggled it out. I kicked around taking the manifold off but figured the way the studs looked I'd end up needing some of those.

    I put a universal spacer on the tire but I don't like it... It made the studs really short. So my question is Spidertraxx or new rims?
