    So just get a ACME threaded rod and build something off of it?

    I wasn't sure how the whole strut thing would work. I remember Camurg having a King Air Jack on their TT and thought it would be awesome if I could do something like that!

    That's all I need is to launch the snowmachaine in the air! It wasn't pretty when I had it Jacked up 3 feet and the Jack broke :facepalm:

    What do you think about this! Just need some help fitting it which shouldn't be too hard? Probably not the exact one I need, but I can get pretty much any size. I bet Amazon prime has them too?

    Those wheels are the ugliest thing I've ever seen, besides that it's actually not THAT bad, I just don't get how an 07 only has 13k miles

    I'm thinking the rebuilt title has something to do with that thing. Maybe crate motor on a salvaged vehicle?

    The ruts and crown of the road can have a huge affect on if the steering wheel is straight. Especially with some sizes of wheel. Youre probably ok alignment wise :)

    Ok guys... So I have this godawful vibration. That appeared after my fucked up year long tires are shit fiasco. I now have new tires. I watched them zero it out on the balance. I also got an alignment because my uniballs were shit and had a ton of play. It was so bad the guy asked me what the hell I had done to my truck. They have also checked my wheels for balance and they are fine. So I am thinking that the vibe might be elsewhere.

    I always get a vibe from 40-50 mph. Sometimes at higher speeds too. Sometimes at lower speeds. At low speeds it feels like I am driving on rectangles. Sometimes at lower speeds it is smooth though....

    Any ideas? It is making me a little crazy :(

    Oh. new u joints as of last year.

    Anddd clutch is fixed. Though still drives like shit. And now my fucking T/O bearing chirps when it is cold. :annoyed: I can't recreate it for the shop since it has been so warm. They have a year warranty on their work though so I will get that looked at this winter.

    was the driveshaft put back together correctly for balance purposes? a u-joint could be bad again. make sure all mounting points and bolts are tight and not missing.

    Marked the drive shaft and pretty sure it went back together the way it came apart. Torqued all the bolts and checked em pretty recently. Ill crawl under it again and look at it to make sure...
