Just another DD
thought I'd make this But I didn't take pics of doing my lift :/
So far I've got thunderbird coils off a 93 thunderbird v6, and s10 bastard pack in the rear. used some monroe shocks from http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...udget_Lift.htm on it. In the front I netter 4.5 inches and in the rear 4 inches from stock spec. Put some 31x10.5 BFGoodrich A/Ts on. Fitted a ZJ handle on the console

Up front it's pretty nice around the city. The little highway ive done isn't bad, but I've got DW so gotta wait for http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Products/TB.html to come in. Hope it fixes it. The back is pretty stiff, hoping these will fix that http://www.liquidironindustries.com/...e=0&featured=Y

Those sliders are sweet, been looking at those myself. Have you done an alignment since the lift?

Did Like three self alignments and then took it to a shop. My axle up front is like 3/4" or so off to the drivers side, I really hope thats what is causing it. A steering dampener made it a lot better but I'm not one for band aids. I'm really confused cause the shop put my tires toe out... gonna make them correct that when I go back after my new track bar is in.

Track bars gonna help it a lot, 4" is a little too much for the stock one. And yeah, they need to correct that and maybe an explanation.

Well it has some kind of warranty on it where if I get into a small fender bender or hit a curb or w/e they said than they will realign it for free.

That's good, so you won't have any problems getting it done. Still wonder why they would set the toe out.

I know lol. They even told me it was too much toe in, which I believed cause I just got my bigger tires on lol. I should have looked at the spec sheet before I got home

3" is the recommended max for both the track bar and control arms. 3"+ you should swap both, they could be the cause of your death wobble.
