    Possibly but our front u joints rarely go out. I'd say either it's in the carrier or something on the knuckle/suspension. I'd drain the front diff fluid and see. Also I would check cv axles. Maybe ecgs didn't use a new bearing and it could be worn

    Yall went a lil sideways on that. It's not in the driveline. I was saying it has that same kinda thud where you feel it in the floor board. It's clearly something loading up with braking then unloading when letting off it. It's gets harder the harder and faster I push the brake and let off. It's a suspension component. I just haven't looked at it at all.

    Idk. I'll let you hear it and you can tell me. It could be a bad uniball on the coilover lower but I replaced those this year and that certainly seems premature. Whatever it is won't be fixed before lbl

    From your description...sounds like these options may be very possible

    1. LCA bolts/Nuts. Possibly loose.
    2. LCA bushings shot.

    If you were to drive slowly in a straight line in a parking lot while repeatedly hitting the brake pedal with decent force, can the noise be heard every time you hit the brake?

    The alignment numbers are in. 2.3 caster both sides. 0 toe and 0 camber both sides. I feel like pass side caster should be at least 1 degree higher but I'll live with it

    Air mattress acquired.

    Adam, what type of tent are you being generous enough to loan me for the trip?

    I like that reply. I laughed.

    I guess I mean like "Coleman 4 person tent" or "Ozark Trail 2 person tent".

    Gotta know how big of a party I can have in it. :cool:

    Finally replaced my blown rear shock today and put the back rear spacers in. Almost ready for this trip comin up. Tomorrow will be the last big thing---> finish trimming the cab mount so the wheels quit rubbing at 7/8 turn applied.

    I think it is an ozark 4 or 5 person. It fits a queen air mattress with plenty of room to spare.

    I'd shoot for higher... I've got the Caster at 3.1 on both sides & that seems to be the sweet spot.
    I think it also depends on how much lift your are running. I had a ton of pre-load originally and was not able to get the caster up but since we did the BL and cranked down the coil overs it was much better.
    Without LT you've got to do as much as possible to move the wheels forward.
    I've got just a shade more to go with the firewall to be rub-free. I'll be eliminating the cab mount with the relo kit eventually.

    I'm lifted at 3" now. I wouldn't care if I was just hitting fire wall because it doesn't gouge the tires as bad. But the cab mount is chewing the tires up quicker than the miles I am adding to them. I'm hoping I can get more. When I took it to them yesterday it was 3.3 caster but the camber and toe were way out as well. Then they started messing with stuff and got it to 2.3 ,0 , 0

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    If you like the way it drives, it's good enough.
    I had my caster at 2.1 for over a year with worn out LCA bushings and handling was ok for the most part. Now that I'm up to 2.9 and have new bushings though, it does feel more stable.
