Push your axle 1/4" further forward. Give you excessive negative caster.

Hmm.. Well I hope these fit properly then! haha


I'm looking at pics of the drop brackets, trying to see if the bracket might help with the 16'' arm with no issue. Can't really tell though..

I have Rusty's HD tie rod and IRO double schear adj. track bar, with a stock draglink and steering stabilizer. How much of a gain would it be if I upgraded to 1 ton?

Was thinking OTK. What do you think? Would it be a nice upgrade for me? Or could I just get a beefier drag link and be fine?

Depends. It's hard to call. If your buying a kit spend the money on OTK. Grand V8 drag links are the same as ours (idk about the end and sleeve, imagine yes though) and you already have the tie rod done. Why are you wanting to upgrade though?

Just wondering if it'd be a better overall investment. I feel like my tie rod is beefy enough, and my track bar as well. I guess I can just add a nice heavy duty drag link, right? I'm sure my steering stabilizer is going out. Since it's been on since the previous owner.

So I'm thinking of getting better shocks. I'm sitting at about 7'', and I just put long arms and leaf sliders on. I have RC 6'' shocks and feel like they might limit me on the trails, right? I also think I can improve my ride quality a little.


Do I need to measure and get an exact set, or will something that works for like 7-8'' of lift be fine?

Is it not the same size for other people with 7'' long arm setups? I didn't measure when I bought my 6'' RC shocks, and I'm a little higher, so that's limiting me now?
