OK. So I've previously measured to know that I have a 4.5" lift in front.
And the lift in back has been sagging ~ or so I thought... but after digging around, I'm not sure it was ever lifted more than an inch.
Other than the wrong shocks arriving from Amazon (sent back and pending correct shocks), I have everything to do the 4.5" lift in back to match the front.:bacondance:
While reading around various threads, I started to wonder what the PO did on the front. And since I'm not a guru on all the parts, I don't know which are correct and which are :pray:
* It doesn't have any noticeable road issues. The alignment is good, smooth acceleration.
** visually, it does look like the camber is off (I'll have to take a pic)
** and I finally got around to dealing with the VacDisco (by adding a shim to lock the fork in place...) and for the first REAL time, used 4x4 on the highway. I'm not sure if there was a slight vibration on acceleration from the 4x4 or the icy and snowy roads (It was only slight and only on acceleration / at speed was smooth)
...It looks like the entire lift is from the springs (no spacers).
I'll try to get better pic's on a dry day / and maybe drop the skid plate. For now, this is what I have:
3885
3886
3887
3888
To know if it's stock vs. aftermarket (or junkyard finds), do I measure?
If so, what are the stock #'s on
Track Bar?
Sway Bars?
Pitman Arm?
Control arms?....
