Re: Suspension for farm work
Thanks again Dev!
I'm shy about doing it myself, since I've never tackled suspension work. Sure I've done electrical, intakes, exhaust, hoses, belts, and other minor stuff, but never suspension. I completely agree with your point about knowing the setup if you install it yourself. I want to know all of the intricacies of my suspension. I'm going to call up the local offroad shop next week, once I have an ETA on the parts, and see if I can shadow the mechanic. I always like to watch mechanics work on my stuff, not because I don't trust them, but because I learn a lot. It's amazing what I learned about my corvette by watching the tranny tech replace the entire clutch assy (after only 4000 miles on the F'ing car)
Thanks for the tutorial on the travel, makes sense to me now...didn't realize all of that went in to it.
Looks like Camburg isn't shipping their arms yet. Wheeler's says that TC ought to be in next week, so we'll see which one pops up first. I'm realy not too picky between the two. Since I'm not going to get the coilovers until the UCAs are in, I'll look into the SAWs.
We'll see about the tires. I may go up a bit, but I don't want too much rolling weight.
Not too worried about the rear-end dropping too low by lifting the front. have you seen the friggin' rake on the '07....jeez, it looks like it's setting up for the doggy style! Also, toytec says that their AAL will add a solid inch to the rear.
matrix-t, thanks also for your help!
I'll look into the super springs...they seem like a good option. I'm going to focus most of my energy on the front to begin with, and only do the AALs to keep my caps for now. Once I get some breathing room I'll focus on the azz.
