I agree with the guys above but, I would also point out if the tires have heavy wear on them it may not give you a good alignment and as mentioned they will still continue to wear the sides out.
I take mine in for an alignment every time I put a new set of tires on it.
The Ranchos you mentioned are an easy swap since they come with springs installed and no need for spring compressors or any special tools. I had Ranchos on mine and they were far better than stock and a very soft comfortable ride in most off road conditions and still much better than stock on...
The Modified MAC's are actually winning some of the machine gun competitions. There are some cool uppers you can put on MAC's to slow the rate down, better stocks, caliber conversions 45 to 9 mm, 22LR and even 5.56 is available too. I think someone once made a .556 belt fed upper for a MAC too...
I found a really easy fix on my Cold Case... Just take an empty / fired 45ACP case punch out the primer then shove it in the upper hose going to the overflow tank and reconnect the hose... Problem solved.

When I replaced my rear brake lines a few weeks ago I just put a hose on the bleeder ran the hose up about 6 inches then down to a bottle and pumped the brakes by myself then did the other side... Everything bled out just fine.
Then I took it for a drive out back on a dirt road and slammed on...
I just had my rear diff rebuilt a few weeks ago before my Colorado trip. The shop I took it to specializes in Differential work and they were insistent about using non-syn lube for break in as well as in the future and no GM additives.
I ran the non-syn for 1500 miles it was making a slight...
I fixed it for now. Since I was replacing both lines I was able to bend them to fit the new location.
I hope this will last for a while but either way I am going to try and order a new set of SS lines to replace the stock rubber lines.
Sucks I have to move it outside when I jack it up... I...
@Bill 1960 it is pretty tight in there. I wish I had a lift in my garage... For that matter I wish this garage had a taller roof so I could jack it up more than a foot or two... lol
Actually I was thinking the same thing. Mine was making the noise when bouncing not turning.
So, I started out lubing the crap out of the bushings to no avail I was getting ready to pull them apart to grease them up. Then I decided to grease the ball joints first and that fixed the problem...
Wich connector block was relocated? I have two blocks on mine one is above a frame rail and the other is attached to the differential. I wonder if the upper block above the frame rail needs to be lowered below the frame?
@swathdiver So are your steel lines just moving up and down too? On...
Well I have the answer for him a year later...
You will need longer rubber brake lines in the rear or the differential brake line bracket will break causing the steel lines to break too.
Then you will have no brakes...
I tried replacing my bracket with a heavy duty 1/4 inch bracket... It...
