just wondering how yall figure this out, its bad if its the shocks right?

mike albo

if its in the rear it could be your breather tube or your brake line

leo3000

no its not, i dropped it down when the wheels were off as far as it could go and it stopped before the lines were tight, and when i did that the u bolts were off so its not the packs either.. so im assuming in the back its the shocks, do i need to do something to adjust for that?? I cant think of why it would do that because the shocks were made for a 3in lift, the only thing i can come up with is maybe the pre 97 shocks are smaller because i bought my lift from a guy with a 91...

The shocks should be the same length for both years. Disconnenct the bottom of the shock and see if it allows more droop.

mike albo

you can't adjust that the only thing you can do is get longer shocks.Are you sure those are even the right shocks,you should call the manufacturer in the morning with the numbers off the shocks,that will tell you for sure.

leo3000

Ok, ill do both those things, what about the front? is it usaully just the combo of the lcas, ucas, and trackbar that restrain enough to eventually stop the droop? or should could it bbe the shocks up there too? i geuss if i know the amount of shock travel then i will be able to figure that out...

winston427

You want to make sure the shocks are not to long as well. I fab up new shoick mounts and relocated them up on the axle tube to gain more droop and ground clearance. The problem was that it moved them up to far and they were to long. A rush job on the welding created weak points and coming down hard on the suspension off of rocks made the shocks bottom out. I bent both shocks and ripped one of the mounts off.

did you pull your rear swaybar?I know on mine with the swaybar connected up front limits my flex and travel

leo3000

yah, i have both swaybars off right now and have some quick disco links in the mail

And that don't even begin the list of damage on that trip. Just because a girl said and I quote (oh so a girl can do it and you can't) end quote.. Ha Ha

mike albo

So he left out some details I see.

leo3000

if its only an inch too short could i just put on some bar pin eliminators?

winston427

BPEs could help out a little.

mike albo

I would think so.

leo3000

i can make them outa the old swaybar mounts right? i would just have to get a tube washer thingy lol, i donno what you call those things...
