Replaced with the Metalcloak clearance kit. It's the shiny zinc coated pieces you can see bolted on now. I was getting really bad rubbing and tearing things up.
This is directly behind the driver front tire. It's underneath that honeycomb piec, and at the body mount. Once you relocate everything else it's in a pretty vulnerable spot. Arguably it's already in a really vulnerable spot if that area was to get hit like someone else mentioned. I just used...
Got it, make sense! I mostly wanted to make sure because I knew a guy near me that was convinced he had to go to the dealer for everything and they were like 45 minutes from him, and it wasn't cheap.
If they're replacing them under warranty, yeah definitely. If you are having to pay for them it will cost you a lot more. For essentially the exact same shafts but unpainted.
If it was me I would do the Ford performance painted axles to get back on the road, you could buy a couple sets of those rather than the upgraded unknown axles that may not really solve your whole problem. I really think a diff drop is what you need if it's due to the excessive droop.
There's literally no reason it would ever fail. It has more structure than most body mounts ever have. My view is I trust this over having somebody weld a new one onto my frame. That has more question marks for me than this.
Almost went that route. But I'm currently unable to weld them myself and don't have anyone I trust. Decided to stick with the stock mounts. Only cost me a couple Diablo blades anyways so I'm happy.
You mean this s*** show? I was pretty shocked when I got this open. Rerouted it yesterday while removing that beehive crap back there.
And I doubt that's the one, seems to be stuff going to the rear.
If it is in fact the CV angles that are the problem, a diff drop may be your best insurance.
If you are running a 2.5" Zone leveling kit that includes Top Hat spacer and or one on the bottom of the strut then this is a lot of extra droop. I'm running a 1.5" Zone leveling kit with spacers, but...
I haven't paid attention for a long time, but originally they wouldn't let you do Sasquatch with a manual. So when you added the SAS it would swap to an automatic and add in that cost as well. So it was like $6,700 or 7 Grand extra. Like $2400 was for the automatic. Once they decided they would...
