Glad you finally got it dialed in! Your right, it does make a big difference. If you are feeling extra froggy you could even put it 10% higher up so it leaves 60% travel for compression and 40% for extension, but I wouldnt go much more than that.
What part of it actually failed? Its not a bad design for a stock application. The tcase coupler tends to fail with high power applications, but the front end is actually the same as the 4wd, just minus the accuator.
Pretty much finished the new upper brackets. I have one more set on hand and it will be a couple weeks before I can have more material cut. I have some of the older styles on hand that use the procomp adapter, and actually thats what I still use. The newer style would be for lifted or slammed...
Ok so I got the new new uppers in and tacked them together to mock up. Literally moved it as far over as I could. It gained approximately 3/4" of an inch more clearance from the UCA and raises the mounting point 3/4" from using the procomp adapter. The only bad thing is these will not work with...
Wanted to update this thread to say I have some different upper mounts in the works to hopefully account for lifted guys. This should also work for guys wanting to go lower than can currently without doing the stud upper mount. I hope to have some test fit this week!
If the fuel pump was pushing out ANY pressure fuel would spray.
Are you sure there is gas in the tank? New fuel pump? Did you use the right hose? Filter clogged?
Put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail and test the pressure there with the pump on.
Well if the shock manufacturers actually listed the dampening rate it would be easier to answer that. Bigger shocks (diameter) usually have higher rates and heat disappation. More spring options would be nice too...
Well I guess its time to get nerdy haha
The suspension is basically a spring-damper system, and this applies to any suspension. You have the spring (be it coil, leaf, or torsion bar) that controls the amount of travel in the system. The second part is the damper (the shock) that controls the...
When you use a longer spring the spring rate you need goes down. SUV guys use such stiff springs because the shocks do not have much travel.
If you measure from the lower shock bolt to the top of the shock pocket on the frame I can find you a spring/shock combo that will work ;)
Lifting seems to be a bit tricky...there seems to be a clearance issue with the UCA when you go higher than just a "crank". I saw that kit you talked about but they dont make it anymore, so I made my own haha.
Go to home depot and get a 3/8" drill bit, all you need :P
Yea he was having some problems the coil hitting the UCA. I think this is specific to lifted setups, so with that in mind I wouldn't recommend my kit for someone that wants more than 3" of lift. In other words, not recommended if you have a real lift kit (including knuckle or full drop type).
