    Cans still welded to your truck?

    @SanClemTaco

    My tie rods were 10" - I wonder if they're supposed to be shorter because I don't have the lift spindles, but I'll email them.

    You can call up Inland Empire Driveline and see what they recommend, but oem works.

    So I’m a little stuck - Deciding if I want to go to a full new midtravel setup, or used LT setup. Most of my adventuruing is just hauling through the desert, but there is a good bit of rock crawling (Moab type).

    Any opinions? I have the budget for extended kings front and 12” shocks rear (with bamf kit) or a used LT kit.

    What do you mean by used LT kit? If your talking tc race kit then go for it. If you’re talking all pro stay mid travel

    Thanks! I wasn't sure if that was because the 600 # springs I have on there were making me sit high. I emailed them.

    tie rods shouldn't look like that regardless of position in the travel. if that was the case the bumpsteer would be completely unacceptable as that would be over an inch toe out per side at droop

    The ones that I pulled off my truck earlier this year were. The yokes at the CB and transmission were as well. I didn't look on the rear diff flange, but I would bet it is too. I replaced mine with greasable AC Delco u-joints.
