Sorry guys, been crazy bust the last week. Got my camber kit friday, havent had time to install it yet though. Im over 500 miles now on this conversion and no problems at all from the new parts
Still thinking about trying out some 20's to see if they make a huge difference. But I LOVE my 4's
Been talking to andrew a little about building these HD washers to hopefully be able to go stud top and get real low... time will tell
I've been making progress with some other upgrades to my Tahoe, but I've still been working on the bushings and washers when time allows. I finally got all the raw material and new lathe tooling in. Here are a couple pics to whet your appetite...
3" diameter chunk of polyurethane:
The biggest down side to chucking the red polyurethane into a lathe and working on it is that the shavings are pink. I am not fond of this because it makes my lathe look like a "my little pony lathe". Here's the start of the work to reduce the diameter to a around 2.5":
I had to machine a square face on the business end of the 4340:
This will give me a very flat face to the material:
Starting the hole for the shock stud to go through:
And here we are, all lined up to increase the diameter. I still have to do this one more time so that it the hole will be the proper diameter hole for the shock stud to fit snugly inside:
I plan on having the first set of these ready to ship next week and I'll be very interested in 04blackout's feedback.
