So im no mechanic my friend helped we with brakes once, but im very eager to learn. I went underneath it for the first time since i bought it and i was ashamed. I think it all started with the 2 inch rough country level kit, and i didnt put enough effort into fixing it. i think i took it to shops about 5 times. it had the tire pull and uneven wear. its like trying to ride a bull getting on the freeway. for years. i also did dumb stuff back in the day as well but its time for some love. ive read that the jounces need to be against the lower control arm, and mine are definetely not. i was gonna see if i could loosen the tortion bars until they made contact, and the driver side bolt is snapped off. while i was down there nothing looked happy. i think the coolant has a leak somewhere as well. the right rear shock has a cut wire, for the bottom plug thing. probably why the service ride control has been on for years, or maybe its the ground. seems like everyone is saying that swapping to bilstein 5100s and ditching the air ride. ive had electrical problems too. probably because of my terrible audio wiring which may also contribute to the pump. the heated seats sometimes constantly cycle, and often when its raining. so any insight would be awesome. ive always loved cars but never new anything about how they work, but lately its been really awesome looking stuff up and just getting in there it really starts to make sense. im also new to forums so if this is wrong place or im doing something wrong just let me know.
