Lift Help! BB vs Coils

[Chris]

I emailed Zone and they said OEM is fine. Mine will be on pavement for awhile anyhow. I figure I can upgrade the uppers later. Am I right?

Yep, that is indeed correct!

Yes you "can" run OEM for now. Are you better off with aftermarket arms, yes. Sounds like a fun build. You will still need to address rear pinion angle and the CV/SYE issue. Unless you plan on shimming down the tcase that much to compensate, you will need adjustable uppers for that.

Well, I'm waiting for the lift and I have ordered all the OEM uppers. I am trying to decide on SYE kit to order. I'm thinking Teraflex from eBay. $409 and comes with SYE and driveshaft.

That's a good deal, though Teraflex has a less than stellar reputation. If it was me I would probably go with one from Advance Adapters.

When you do the SYE and rear CV shaft you will need adj uppers to adjust the pinion so it points 1-2* below the tcase output. This way on accelleration, when the pinion rotates up, you will be roughly zero degrees drivesahft angle. I agree with Chris on the AA parts, if you can swing the difference.

Thanks guys. I didn't know about Teraflex. The AA one I had my eye on sold, but there some from Crown and also Adams driveshaft. Any thoughts on Olivers?

 

[Chris]

Never heard of Olivers.

My number one go to for Driveshafts is Tom Wood:

He's smart, knowledgable and friendly.

Adams I would do. Also J.E. Reel shafts are nice. Let me know if you would like pricing on one of those.

Thank you, guys. I will call Tom Wood tomorrow.

Stupid question, Allen. Can I just buy adj uppers for the rear only? I've already ortederd OEM ones for frt and rr, and I'm killing the budget. I have been in Cincinnati for 4 months for my son to have a bone marrow transplant and I haven't worked in quite awhile.
