    I was. The shocks were limiting the droop in that pic. Most I got the rear to pull was 15" it was really more of a mid travel rear, than long travel. I don't think 15" in the rear is enough the keep up with lt in the front. Calling it LT is just a marketing ploy. The bigger c/o's are my new rear springs

    The pic of those shocks deserves a :jerkoff: but without the sarcastic eye roll.

    I guess :drool: will have to do.

    I have the exactly sound. Ive looked into EVERYTHING. I think it may be the LCA bushings. At my last alignment they were torn.

    Another good thought that I had as well. It's been a while since I greased the upper arms as well.

    I personally wouldn't bother with aftermarket lower arms unless you got serviceable bushings or heims. Since I'll long travel "some day" there's no point. :laughing: At least I haven't convinced myself there is yet.
    You need to be a vendor for Camburg! :D

    perks of being glued to photoshop half the day lol. I was going to make a .gif out of it so it would actually do the hand motion but I probably shouldn't spend that much time on it haha

    After installing a few camburg kits I really don't have any interest in trying to get an account with them. They are decent kits and have things I like better than the other kits and things I don't care for. I respect what they've done for our industry, but I've seen a few other things I didn't care for from their customer service.

    Im thinking of TC lowers. The stock bushings are not serviceable..well they are but not worth it. I can replace them with poly bushings but even energy suspension the makers of the bushins say they are a pain. I plan on runnning a second shock so Ill have to get lowers at some point.

    @glorifiedwelder Are you talking about the ones in Hawaii?

    Yeah the ones in Hawaii. I really like the tc race lowers. I prefer Delrin lower bushings like the dk's have. They are a $200 upgrade through TC.

    I like the stock length lca's in the following order

    1. TC race
    2. Dirt King
    3. Standard TC

    I was told I cant use the race ones because im running maxtrac spindles. A special spacer needs to be fabbed and only works on the standard ones.

    I think shipping from hawaii would kill the deal.
