Tricky Dick's Dirty Bronco

[Tricky Dick]

So how much clearance did you gain on the gas tank? I find that's the best part of my lift. I'm dragging that tank over far less stuff now.

I would say a solid 3" once the 37s are on.

This is where I am with 35s. Will eventually go to 37s to get another inch.

I'm exactly 1" lower.

I got two Territories dismounted last night, so my weekend project will be tightening beadlock bolts. I need to snap a pic, but the 37 grew 2" when mounted because it's a bit more pinched on the Sasquatched wheel than is ideal.

I have an alignment appointment this afternoon as well.

What is the width and how much air do you have in them?

I'll have to recheck but I want to say 13". 20 psi now.

Right at 37 on the nose with no weight on it.

Alignment done. Feels a little twitchier now maybe. At first they told me they couldn‘t adjust the toe because they couldn't loosen my "tie rod extensions" even with a cheater bar. I assured him they were just jam nuts and I had only got them hand tight. He asked if I would loosen them so they wouldn't be liable for breaking them and I said sure, just wanted it done. I think he was going the wrong direction because it broke easily with just a combination wrench.

I drove around a bit more tonight and steering is definitely a little twitchier. IDK if it's the toe or what because it does show in spec.

But I'm digging the stiffer springs, it corners more flatly now and brake dive is reduced. So far I would definitely recommend bumping up to 4dr and/or V6 spring if you have a 2dr or L4, even if it's not paired with Icons.

My Warn care package showed up today so time to get the winch finished up tomorrow.

Mine with just a 1.5" Bilstein 5100 lift drove straight as a string and handled better than ever. It passed my hillbilly alignment, a carpenters level. So I have not been to the alignment shop yet. Don't really trust someone who may not understand righty tightly. (In fairness I struggled with a left hand thread on Razor tierod a while back) I'm putting some serious miles on it next week so we'll see.

I kind of feel that way too, but these modern techs are better at running computers than wrenches so I feel good about the print out.

As you can see my alignment wasn't even that far out just eyeballing everything. I had loosened every bolt so everything had moved too.

Yeah I noticed how close to spec you were, made me feel better

"twitchier now " ?

Just remember that when you put on the swampers and then are worn down like dollar store eraser (which is now $1.25) print out good.
New/modern techs are a joke.

Are you kidding me!!!!!

Hard to explain. Feels like I need to make more steering corrections and smaller movements over correct more.
