Nope, I didn't need to shim my shocks... Still had room at full droop. Could be a problem if I disco'ed my sway bar; Eh, cross that bridge when I get there... That's a few projects away. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
Alignment is done... Although I think I may take it back in; They left a little positive camber (1-1.5%) & I think they can do better(<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />), so I'll pay them a visit later in the week. Tomorrow is Doestch Tech Steering Stabilizer day! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Didn't do the Daystar shackles after all... 4WP was being hinkey about when they were actually going to arrive. While I would like to get a set of Alcans, I can't truly justify it right now (I am still unemployed, after all <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />), so instead now I've purchased a set of shackles from AOR. They're 1.5", but just as before I'll be redrilling & trimming. As for the Taco, not sure but fwiw I can't see it being a different length from the factory, as the few places I've seen with shackles list the Taco with the T for the same amount of lift.
So the long & short of it (no pun intended) is I cranked the front back down an inch (so still up .5" from before), but no rub up front yet - even turning under compression! As for the rear, I had to remove the mudflaps; They hung just a little too close. With 'em off, plenty of room. Can't completely stuff the rear, but I made 2 dump runs of 1000 lbs each today without any rubbing in the rear (and I tried <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />).
I'll take some pics sometime tomorrow (if/when it stops raining) & get them up here... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Btw... Nobody answered my ? - Anybody know if the T's leaf spring bushings are the type that pop out easliy or are they the kind you have to burn out?
Also, Joel: He's got all the spacers you could want... Not a short run item. He'll still have 'em when you get done moving, or you could do like me & sit on 'em until you get around to it (read: 9 months <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />).
