Zipper pulls for the soft top:

Front shocks out and new 5000x's in. A huge difference. The 9000's were way to long a shock for this lift. They extended well past four inches of travel when removed, more like six. I still have something loose down under and need to do some more inspection, but MOST of the small bumps...

I'll definitely check that. The rear were 4" for sure, but were Bilsteins... and had one blown out. We'll see how the 9000's look.

Thanks for getting us back on track. I think I understand that the front end with dropped pitman will work fine with the dropped trackbar. If I get a wild hair I will look into a new system, returning the trackbar to it's stock location. I am going to install the two front shocks this weekend...

Thoughts on why travel might be limited? Bind in the system somewhere? Again, no interference I can see.

Front or rear?

I drove my normal work route, complete with speed bumps. Not sure anything is hitting...

Not according to my zip ties...

Rear springs and sway have a grey hammered finish. I assume not stock.

Travel looks to be 3”. Stiff springs?

Wow. Cool I guess. Makes sense as mine just came from California. Dual brace?

Just ran out. Both shock and bumpstop measure 5”

Haven’t measured the fronts yet

And it’s my daily so a slow rebuild is not in the cards....

I still need to measure up down travel doing the zip tie method. The rebound ok. I have new 5000x not installed yet. Mostly it’s little drops (1”) in pavement that are uncomfortable. I do wonder about tires. They are 33” Falken WildPeak.

Front shocks are Rancho 9000 on setting 1 Rears are Rancho 5000x C-rated Tires at 26psi

Good question. It has minor steering issues. The larger problem is a harsh ride and old components. I’m evaluating what needs to be addressed first. I have been reading that a dropped pitman arm is to be avoided.

Yes, that's on the list. They are tubular, Procomp I believe?

Thanks. Pitman arms are relatively cheap new. I don't notice too much bumpsteer currently. I was inquiring because I had been reading that a dropped arm was a bad idea. If I have to change every piece in the front end, I need to do a bit more planning. I thought maybe just swapping in a...
