YumaTRD's Build

I would also need uniball UCA's and extended 2.5 shocks to get the real benefit of the lowers. I leaning more to option 1 or 2 since it wont kill me as much and still make it a posibility to afford the regear by December

 

Hmm I like the fact that it's stronger than factory lol

 

It surely is beefy... but i can get some Light Racing UCA's, fix my lowers and get a regear for around the same price. That will make my front setup stronger than stock rather than a bulletproof LCA and tin foil uppers.

 

Went to U-fix-it this morning



Replaced my stock size 5100's with extended 5100's.



I was running a temporary spacer so they can work with the Allpro pack. The plan was to go with a 2.0 shock with resi but no manufacturer makes a 11" shock with 27"/16" colapsed sizes other than the extended 5100's. Most were 10" 25"/15" which doesnt work with my springs without potential damage to the shocks.





The shaft is thicker and come with thicker bushings on the extended 5100, really like the girth.



Final install




Full droop

 

This bolt



is less than a 2mm gap and spins freely. It is seized and I spent an hour trying to either tighten it or removing it. I am going to end up cutting it off or welding a wrench to remove it since its starting to strip.

Other than that, I have some SS rear brake lines to install on our next mod day. No plans for future mods on the horizon at the moment

 

I am having th exact same issue with my lcas. I just picked up a set of stock ones from bmoc and ive been waiting for the weather to cool down before i swap them out. Seemed like the cheapest and quickest solution i found. Im also waiting for some more uniball lca options to drop as well.

Im pretty sure i saw you by asu the other day those 295s are mean what regear will you go to?

 

when does yours clunk? i have a super annoying clunk when turning at low speeds....almost sounds like a bj shifting into place or something...anyways it really bugs me and it seems like most guys with spindles have this

 

I'd go for a 4.10 regear but still debating if I should. I know I'll get better low end power and city gas mileage but I dont want to lose more highway MGP.
I was also thinking of refurbishing some LCA's but I want to find the problem first before swaping parts.

Yup, its at low speeds while turning. It does sound like a shift of a bolt or rubber bushing, rather than a metal on metal clunk.

 

and yours is coming from that bolt? its hard to tell what bolt that is....is it holding the bj into the adaptor?


i always thought mine was the tie rod ends or something

 

It's one of the two bolts that hold the spindle to the BJ adaptor. I got it torqued into spec on Saturday but it didnt fix the clunk sound while turning.

I first thought it was a siezed LCA bolt because i have a bent alignment tab, but they stay in place when the suspension cycles. It may be our tie rods since they have to be installed upside down with the spindles.

 

i dont think thats the issue with mine...mine are double shear...i too have a bent tab and seized bolt...LOL

my tie rods look fucked though

 

Mine made the same noise at the same time before I guesseted my cam tabs. It came from ripping a few of them off

 

mines not even flat, its halway bent....haha and it comes from both sides. Its very loud at some points too, i dont even know where to start

 

XXXX made a thread about removing seized cam bolts and showed how the mounting sleeve got wore out. Since the clunk comes only while in motion, not just by turning while parked, I think it has to do with the cam bolts rather than tie rods for me

 

mine usually never clunks while parked....but at a stop light one time i was able to get it to clunk multiple times....it clunks then clunks back as you turn the other way

 

was there a noticeable difference with the super bumps front bumpstops?

 

Yes there was. Dali and I noticed the smoother bump absorbtion the first time we tried then in the dirt. For $50 its worth the mod

 

Thanks for the input!

 

I was thinking about getting the rears too since they're instock. I have the daystar that are like your pyramids but made of foam right now. Since the rear cost over $100, IDK if they are worth the improvement over the daystars.



I got my projectors in today. I was excited but then realized they forgot to send out my amber Halo LEDS. Kinda bummed cuz I wanted to install them this weekend
