i disconnected the sway bar today for somthin to do. and wow what a difference. it could go a little higher but the tires were starting the tip. pretty good for nothin but a lift tho.
ps..im still looking for tires.
but what a difference that made. i think the front sway will just come right out. iv been told they ride nicer with non.

It is realy noticable in this photo how much the front axle pulls back into the wheel well with the lift and short arms. On my Nissan Patrol we found with a 5" lift the wheel base shortened by 2". This is an issue for tyre rub in the back of the wheel well when turning and even worse when the suspesion is compressed and realy limits your tyre size choice. Just an observation you are heading the right way keep it up.

alright...so dose that mean i should go long arm on it? if i do i would make all my own so would i need to change the upper arms to?
But I finished the fenders to. The back one I screwed up on huge but it will work fine.… I did not do the cut and curl the rear fenders like you should tho. it works fine and looks better.
The pile is getting bigger.
Now what should I do with the inner fenders? I thought of making my own from some thin rubber or should I just take them right out? If I take them right out then it will rust out faster.… So im not sure what to do now. I think ill just make my own.
