Today I went in to add some bump stops and cycle my suspension.
I measured and removed the springs and the disconnected various steering components only to put them back and test the shocks which hit before my jounce pad. I removed the shocks and put the tires on to check flex on the wheel well and found the track bar gets hung up on my front axle truss.
With only lower adjustable control arms I’m going to see if i can slide the axle back a bit and make room.
All while maintaining a pinion angle that is slightly higher than the drive shaft.
I also found my steering dampener had been grinding on a nut on it’s own bracket. Took that out and the bushing was shot and the threads are toast ( I may have done that).
So I got the Monroe one and it’s coming In tomorrow I hope!
Day 2 is still ahead!
