Awesome. Thanks for the comment. I have a set sitting on my work bench and have been contemplating installing them but wanted to get some feedback from others before I install.
I have searched and haven't found much feedback on the Fabtech Tie Rods. Anyone out there have them installed and can provide feedback? I have heard a lot of mixed messages about using heim joints on tie rods. Most off-road shops say they are the best, but then some people who have heim joint...
Yea, it was rubbing a bit but I ended up just lightly hammering in that angle piece at the top of the shock with a plastic hammer and it moved it out of the way. It is not rubbing any longer. The other side is actually worse! But both are good now.
I have had the new 600lb tender springs for a while now. After changing out the main spring I just didn't have the motivation to take them out again and add the new tender. But, I had a free Saturday and finally got it done. The biggest pain in the butt is taking out the wheel liner. I only...
I just measured my fronts per your video and I measure about 5-1/2” as well. I have not noticed any roughness or loose feeling you are describing. I am at 15 clicks from soft. I attached a couple pics of how mine are set and how my Bronco is now sitting with the new 450/600lb spring setup...
I changed the main spring from stock 350lb to 450lb previously but the stock 500lb tender was still fully compressed. So, that is why I changed to the 600lb tender spring.
Finished installing the 600lb top spring and everything is good to go now. There is slight compression on the tender spring now and I am sitting perfectly level now.
That really doesn’t make sense to me. That tender spring needs to have some available compression or why even have it. There is no way that main spring will be loose when the shock unloads. That spring is always under compression or it would be loose with no load on it. King couldn’t give me...
I have the RPG UCA's and have had not clearance issues. I have -12 offset wheels and KM3 37's. I don't have any rubbing on anything. The resi hose is very, very close to the inside of the UCA's however.
I have already upgraded the spring and the preload is not set at about 1" and I am sitting somewhat level (See Pic Above). I will be changing to a heavier tender spring soon to keep it from being so compressed.
I did not install their charge pipes. But, when you compare how restrictive the original piping is with what K&N provides, no wonder they can claim HP increases. Not sure how much better it would be with the charge pipes as well.
The Kings are great but be careful if you add any substantial weight to the rear of your Bronco. I had to upgrade my main spring and still need to change out the top spring. In stock King configuration and with all the drawers, fridge and shelf I have mounted in the rear of my Bronco, I was...
