Ya im with you on that. Id suggest O2 sensors, check em or just replace em. And vaccuum leaks, i think MAP sensor, lowrange i believe told me to check that stuff. But it all checked out good for me. An exhaust leak can do it too. Heck tire pressure and a regular tune up are supposed to help too.

Not sure how youd check O2s normally, i have an obd2 scanner and an app on my phone that shows the volts. Rapid transitions above .45 and below .45 are what you want if i remember correctly. Google has some info on checkin em.

Anyone installed the Ruffstuff 7/8" heim kit? I've started digging into it and it looks like I'll have clearance issues between the tie rod and the diff cover. Any suggestions?

Well, I've already bought it lol. Beefy kit for sure! But in moving the knuckles back and forth I'm positive it'll contact the diff cover. It's the G2 cover that comes with the housing so I'm wondering if it's just cause that particular cover sticks out farther.

I'm interested in running control arm drop brackets, but can't seem to find a general consensus as to whether or not my current arms would work. I have stock uppers, with RC tubular lowers (the ones that are curved). I know that stock length arms should work fine, but would the tubular lowers work at all?
