A leveling conundrum..

Good stuff!

 

Amazing! This place farckin rules ❤️

 

Also, remember to adjust your headlights down please. Not sure what you've concluded on your rake, but where you are currently at you will be blinding a lot of people.

 

Update!

Firstly, this absolutely explains why people have been flashing me at night… my bad, that just means I’m getting this done asap!

Went and got everything evaluated. All my angles are good, nothing is at risk of damage, based upon how it currently sits. Could continue to drive with the half inch higher forever!… but I’m not going to lol. I already have after market control arms, albeit they are cheap, so we are def going to get me some adjustable ones. I also asked about “maxing out” in the front as two people now have said I may be near maxed, and he said based upon what I have, I have plenty of room. So, not super clear on what that all actually means but he said everything checked out.

Turns out I am on the highest setting for my front strut situation. This was certainly done to accommodate for the extra weight that was once there. He is going to end up taking them off, and bringing the snap rings down a notch. This should put me right where I need to be. Also found out I am running Old Man Emu leafs in the rear. So hey, the more you know lol. I’m a noob, okay.

Best part is that aside from the price of the control arms, he is very fair on labor and his reviews are outstanding. Lastly, the dude is a genuine awesome guy. So it’s always a good time working with someone who isn’t just a burnt out tech lol.

Summary: Ordering the adjustable control arms (just based upon another long term goal of mine) and adjusting the suspension soon! Followed by an alignment and I’ll be good to go, and probably riding smoother?

Glad I didn’t pay this other “big name” off-road shop the 1800$ they wanted to install the 5100’s all around.



PS: That leaky shock is something I completely forgot about. However, thanks to this awesome community I was able to use that photo and send it to them as reference. New shock will be here within a few days
