No, I don't think there is any negative impact to driving on the street and traction off road IMO has improved! The best way I can explain it is the suspension feels looser but not in a bad way. No I don't think she felt it was worse just different, maybe she felt a little more body lean going...
You definitely can feel a difference, and how much is subjective. My wife didn't know I installed them and on our way to Colorado she asked me if I had done something as she said the ride felt a bit different especially the on and off ramps. I could feel a difference but had I not driven it...
Read this whole thread, they have some articulation numbers on like the second page. Problem with those AC Fab disconnects, the heim joints start to wear and get really loud. I've been running the Walker links for nearly a year now and have nothing but positive things to say about them. You...
The frame horn reinforcements from ADD just look thin and cheap but I also thought the ones that Ford provide with there winch mount don't look overly beefy. But the engineers must think they are sufficient. The ones Tricky made look like the real deal! Tricky you better raise the price and...
I also contacted Tricky Mike about his frame horn reinforcements and yes I was told they were not offering them anymore because they weren't cost effective. His looked like pieces of art they were so well constructed! I decided to build my own out of .250 gauge plate, not as pretty as Tricky's...
I don't give a damn what you call your videos, I'm more interested in what is causing you to break axles! There maybe no binding but your CV"s at full extension are at an extreme angle and are going to cause excessive wear at an accelerated rate! Even driving down the roads and you hit a pothole...
Yeah, I'd be doing something different! You said you thought it might also be from running your sway bar disconnect, it might be part of the problem. But there are guys I know that have removed their sway bar completely that haven't blown CV's but they aren't running huge lifts either.
The diff drop will help but 5" of lift is pretty hard to compensate for! That's just the nature of the beast when your dealing with IFS! That's where portals come in, but that's simply out of most people's price range. I know the big lifts are all the rage, ( I don't get it) but I think you'd be...
I'm thinking that would help a lot, I've never been a fan of puck lifts. But if you stay with a 5" lift even with coilovers your still putting a lot of wear on your CV's and also your rack if you haven't upgraded it.
Oh it's definitely better than pucks! And yes everyone knows about the Easter eggs, but let's see what Ford says about the warranty work you want when you've torn up your CV's and or rack! Yes they are meant to off-road and need the clearance, but anytime you do large lifts you are messing with...
