Thanks, I always love your advice on here. I found out that my bushings in the track bar now are completely shot, took me a while to really narrow it down but it makes sense since I did have to replace pretty much any bushing that was on it already haha. The previous owner I think put an aftermarket rear track bar in (I can't tell, see pic) but no special bracket to raise it up. I have a pic, ignore the poor paint and dirt underneath, it's a project I'm slowly upgrading and fixing issues on. The one end is fairly seized up as well so I can't really adjust it much.
Based on that pic, you can definitely use a raised track bar bracket due to your lift. That is an aftermarket track bar though.
Do you have one you recommend? I tried to get a RC one a long while ago but my Axle brace blocks it. Do you know of one that won't get blocked by it?
I haven't changed any of that. How do you know from the pic? I don't mean to question, but I'm curious so I can learn how to tell as well. The pinion angle is correct so I would be a bit concerned with moving it around a ton unless I really have to.
Your coils are bowed a lot. If you had a two door I could see it being okay but a four door, it’s not right.
hmm, if I shorten them anymore though, the tires will hit when it articulates unless I need to move the front ones too?
What OverlanderJK said. Also, you’re failing to realize that your axle travels is an arc.
What does the front have to do with the rear?
Ah, yes of course, I knew that too, just wasn't thinking about it haha. Thanks for the reminder, that helps me fix it.
nothing, I was thinking about it the wrong way.
Awesome, thanks a ton for your help!
As OverlanderJK said, the lowers set your axle position and that should be pretty close to stock, even with a tall lift. Essentially, the jounce stops should make good and solid contact with the axle bump pads at full bump. Upper arms set pinion angle in the rear and caster up front.Basically I need to shorten the rear control arms until the springs are no longer bowed. In your opinion, should I start with the rear upper or lower control arms or shorten all four of them the exact distance at once? How would you tackle it.
