more recent after body lift



new wheels and tires




the most recent mods- new brakes, manual hubs, bilstein shocks in the front, new sway links, ball joints new, and outer tie rods

 

Looks good! I'd do something about the rake though.

 

yeah i agree, i have shackles in the rear and i tried to move them to a lower spot but the bushings on my leaf springs are so bad that i couldnt get them to fit.

 

That looks great! Love the tires but I think they are mounted backwards. They say "THIS SIDE INBOARD" and "THIS SIDE OUTBOARD" down by the bead. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

dont know, never paid attention to that, i got them from a guy off of here so they were already mounted, i guess i will have to look.

 

you sir, are correct, i just went out and looked and all four of them have "this side inboard" facing out. i wonder y that is...

 

I bet when you change them it will ride a million times better.

 

yeah, the steering wheel shakes a lot now, and the truck pulls to the right all the time, but i had the pulling issue before i got those. good spot on that btw.

 

look like you take care of your truck! i like it!

 

Nice work so far. Just needs a little more height in the front!

 

thanks guys, open to suggestions for more mods, im looking into getting a tonneau cover now.

 

The way that tread is set-up is for water on the road leaving the tread while driving, hence why it has to face a certain way. It's not like BFG AT's that you can go whitewall or blackwall out.

 

so my traction in the rain isnt going to be as good with them on the wrong way?

 

alignment?

 

correct.

 

it was aligned somewhat at school, never got to finish it but if i remember right we had camber and toe correct, i think the caster was out on the one side.

ok thanks for the useful info.

 

ok guys a little update... got the tires remounted correctly and balanced and the shake in the wheel went away. i still have a pull but i believe that is due to alignment and a bad inner tie rod. scored this at the jy today:

 

Looks great, but crank those tbars some!

 

its on the list

 

i still have a soft spot for gen4's. looks good!

 

thanks man.

 

What vehicle is that cluster out of? Ive never seen it before and really like it!
