Loosened the LCA bolts and unbolted the bottoms of the struts and moved them so they'd drop past the LCA mounts when I lowered the frame. I dropped it down about an inch lower than where the spindles should have dropped it to, then tightened the LCA bolts and bolted the struts back where they normally go. After a short, spirited drive to settle things, I found that this made no difference in my net drop of 1.5". This confirms that the McGaughy's people are dirty, cheating, rotten liars and I hope they get ********** by mutant zebra apes with scalpel-like talons and cactus dicks.
Then I adjusted the tie rods to straighten the steering wheel and get just a touch of toe-in. The steering now feels like it did before all of this was started.
I then moved to the rear to install DJM rear sway bar offset end links, DJM rear lower control arm relocators, Belltech SP rear shocks and Autoride spoofing resistors. My traction control and ABS lights came on as soon as I started it up. It's always something!
Out of the 5 resistors I have, I'm hoping I just have a bad one. The remaining 4 on the work bench all measure exactly 4.4 ohms. They're supposed to be 3.9 ohms, but I guess there's a .5 ohm tolerance? Is the suspension system that sensitive to a .5 ohm variance? Stupid me didn't test them before I soldered, heat-shrinked and secured them.
This shit's wearing me down.
