Would there be more Monday/Tuesday Moab interest if Pritchett got put on the roster?

I would be interested in hitting it, but need another rig to come along.

I am sure someone is getting under the weather and will have to call in sick those days

It's going to need to be raised on the axle side. Look through the pics here and search for Jason and tristins setup. The trac bar right there is doable but scary bump steer you need to be prepared for.

I got all excited when you posted this up, and then remembered I'm still on my no flex diet as I wait for my flairs.
Also, is there anyway I could spend five more minutes under your rig sometime this weekend, I missed two measurements I didn't realize I needed?

Did you get those coils in? no pics... wtf.... lol

I would be "sick" If -
A- My manager wasn't on here... lol
B- I wasn't going on vacation next week.

Either way have fun! I really wanna do Pritchett again, and the Rim, my 2 favorites.

Are you kidding? He had the coils in before I could finish measuring his setup, Lol. You guys with the long arms have it easy when it comes to swapping springs!

Everything is tight? Tie rod ends? ball joints? how are the tires? old? unevenly worn? could have a bad/separating belt in the tire.

what changed when you did the shocks? good/new shocks shouldn't give you DW.

here is a shot of mine - the more parallel you can get your drag link and track bar the better.
Put a pic of your front end from straight ahead into a paint program, then draw straight lines from bolt to bolt on the track bar, and a separate line from pivot point to pivot point on the drag link. The more those angles are off, the more of an issue with bumpsteer and possible DW it will cause. I was gettting DW for the first time recently when my angles were way off from crossover. After putting the track bar where it is now, I have not had it do it again yet.

Unfortunately, there are sooooo many things on our front ends that can contribute. One thing to look at is to have someone turn the wheel back and fourth on a high traction surface like pavement while you look from underneath. Look for any movement in your links, steering box, bushings, etc.
