No not too crazy, it feels way better on cornering and the fact i dont have to worry about rubbing when going up my driveway puts a smile on my face

 

Im looking forward to better cornering, fixing my taco lean, and a tad bit more lift. Also ill get rid of my swaybar.

 

Yeah the lean is a bitch had my driver side coil so frkn preloaded to get rid of it, this is legit and just slightly preloaded more on the driver side. It should be settled by now, but may soften up a bit more...i had to have my rear driver leaf shimmed my lean was so bad after my suspension upgrade. I think my aal will cancel my shim out, i shall see lol

 

Yeah the difference in preload is crazy haha and im still like a 1/4" lower on driver side. With my expo leafs Im off by 1/2" on the driver side. What did you shim with? its so annoying to see haha. Im hoping that the coils being fixed will help in the rear a bit.

 

Solid Build! What trail is this on ?

 

Thxs man! Welcome...Back side of bronco peak

 

Just the leaf shims they put in, i am not sure of the technical term, i had it adjusted at the same time the shop put my tires on correctly vs backwards like they originally did

 

So still have yet to do the rear cause my og rear brakeline stretched pretty far when i tried to remove the leafs, probably coulda got em out but edged on the side of caution and ordered some brakeline extensions. Then a day later my pads were scraping signaling time for new pads. I said when the pads wore i would do the tundra swap, so...
I will admit I dont like working on brakes. Was a straightforward upgrade and I lucked out with some difficult hicups, but this one played with my head. #brakefluidisslipperyasfuck

 

So this weekend we ended up working on some trucks helped swap a friends supension completely out including ucas..let him n someone else swap his leafs lol etc etc, and last but not least I had energy n time left for replacing my shackles w a kit from toytec that has zerks...was 3/4 for the zerks one snapped yet easily unscrewed and was replaced sunday before painting my fence and sifting dirt to fill my drainage ditch. #mybackhurts


Good thing is those shackles are quiet as church mice. Bad thing is it isolated the squeak and its the front bushing that is making all the noise. I was hoping it wasn't the culprit to avoid more work. So eventually those will get torched out and the daystars i have put in. By the time I got to work on my truck it was 6hrs in on wrenching n i didnt have it in me to remove another set of leafs n torch those suckers...I was satisfied with my small win. This instal also brought to my attention I need bumb stops n need to address my ebrake line and see if I can do something to keep it from limiting my truck at full droop

 

My ome leafs squeaked too, had old bushings in there an they squeaked, an new ones squeak

I ended up using that wurth lube on old an new got rid of squeaking

 

The rubber care product?

 

My All pro Expos squeak like crazy.

 

My stock leafs were super quiet it’s not a big issue but it just bothers me

 

This stuff

But just ordered some wurth silicone lubricant gonna try that stuff

 

Will try it out for sure

 

Ended up heading out to the desert last weekend and @erice took some amazing photos yet again!

 

Hell yeah man, lookin good!

 

Sweet truck! How do you like the 4.56's with 33's? I am going this route once I get everything installed.

 

Love em. I still have decent highway speed and truck crawls like a champ. I think 4.88 woulda been better with how much I like to play in the rocks, but I love being able to get to 80mph on the highway without issues.



I have to upload some more stuff I've done to the truck, will update when everything finally works out and my rear suspension is how I want it.
