XPOTRPR build & BS

Try not to get too discouraged. Sometimes these things just take a little tweaking and maybe a fresh set of eyes. You've bought the right parts, so I'm sure everything will come together

 

Yeah I re-torqued everything tonight. Alignment tomorrow. I'm gonna try crankin the driver side more as well.

 

I saw in the mid travel thread that someone mentioned the body mount bushings. I was actually going to mention the same thing. Could account for the clunk and the lean. Try measuring from the bottom of the frame rail to the ground on both sides. Quick way to determine if it is the body mounts. Always happy to help if you want

 

Yeah I actually torqued them down tonight before I even saw that post. Lol.

It might have helped. We will see. And thanks man! Ill try measuring from the frame tomorrow.

 

Oh good. If the bushings are worn out it could be contributing to the lean. I'm hoping that it's something simple

 

I don't even know how to diagnose a worm out body mount bushing. I can't imagine it having issues already.

 

You'd be surprised. And it's a wear item afterall. May not be the issue but sometimes these things can be just that simple. You can measure the bushings on both sides just to compare. As for the harsh ride, that can be a number of things and hard to diagnose without riding in the truck. I'm actually dealing with some ride issues myself. I feel like my front rides better than the rear end of my truck. As of right now, I am thinking that since my front has the cdc valve set to the softest setting, and my rear end doesn't have the cdc at all, I am getting a much stiffer ride in the back which is cause the whole truck to behave a little weird

 

I honestly don't see how his body mounts would be worn out. If mine aren't, there's really no way in hell his are unless they're defective from the start.

 

I have a dyno posted with just the URD Spec-U headers. Last page in my link I believe.

 

When you loosened off of the bolts at the leaf spring perches and shackles, did any of them make any popping noises? That is the audible indicator that things were in a bind.

Are the rear shocks not adjustable, as far as dampening and rebound?

Just upgrade to new Energy Suspension bushings.

 

hmmm.. so looks like i would be lucky to break 300 with all my addditions huh? I still need to get the MAF CAL and have it mapped for all the bolt ons.

ya know what.. i totally forgot to loosen everything while on the ground. I'll try it again tonight. I did tighten everything tho.

ummm.. im sure the valving can be changed.. but as far as on the fly.. no they arent. Idk what the deal is with the rear.. having that no shock feeling and bouncing. I've never experienced that before.

 

Have them checked for N2 pressure, maybe the shocks aren't charged all around and that's why it's not feeling right?

 

I got no lean

It's weird that you still have issues with the lean. You can try my sway bar this weekend if you want.

 

it would make sense of the feeling of "no shocks"

could it be just that the leafs are new?

 

told you i wont be here.

im just gonna try cranking the driver side more..

 

Figured you can take it tonight but ho-kay.

 

ehh maybe if i get around to it. gotta get some other stuff done first. pack and get the truck ready for Sedona.

 

Are you with the 8 psi pulley? I'd think you'd be around 315whp if so.

 

Info on these bushings??

Ever piece of rubber in my Honda Civic has been upgraded with Energy Suspension. Totally worth it, but it is a lot of work.
