    Popping in front end after spacers

    Yeah I think I have a tad bit of travel in the shock but its defintely bottoming out the upper ball joint travel and that's where I'm getting my knocking. Flipping the ball joints has helped though as it doesn't knock now unless i really go over one of those bumps really quick. and thats whats...

    Popping in front end after spacers

    So I installed a set of Energy Suspension spring spacers in my 2wd truck. Just wanted to level it out and maybe add some bigger tires without going all crazy and expensive. Anyway I installed new ball joints, inner and outer tie rods and adjusting sleeves. When I first got the truck I...

    I want your opinion - Full Front End Rebuild C1500

    With the lares one you cant because its riveted like the factory piece. You are just bolting the joint to the steering shaft. I originally bought the Dorman replacement rubber insert and drilled all four rivets and used four nuts and bolts and when you're tightening the joint back together you...

    I want your opinion - Full Front End Rebuild C1500

    Yeah mine was like that when I got it from my dad. It pulled heavy to the right. And you could swing the wheel like from 10-2 and it would keep going straight! took like a full half turn for it to actully start moving in another direction. Now after replacing almost everything other than the...

    I want your opinion - Full Front End Rebuild C1500

    I did also replace the pitman arm, idler arm, and idler bracket a few months back. I also just replaced the rag joint as well. Everything feels tight while driving, a big change from when I got the truck and I could sway the steering wheel back and forth without the truck changing direction.

    I want your opinion - Full Front End Rebuild C1500

    I just replaced upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends and sleeves with all new MOOG stuff. I did the pitman arm and idler and idler bracket maybe 6 months ago cause they were bad, super sloppy. I also did replace my rag joint. Its pretty tight now. I guess we'll see how...

    OBS Camber/Caster Knock-outs - how to tell if you have them.

    Any pics of what the tool looks like? I just checked my 97 GMC Sierra since I'm doing ball joints and tie rod ends. i'm not doing control arm bushings yet anyway but my knockouts are still present. It has cam bolts but the knockouts aren't "knocked out". I'm also installing some energy...

    2wd lift. 31x10.50 KO2

    sorry to bump this up but I missed where you said what you did to the rear? or did it just settle out? I have the same spacers for my 97 extended cab stepside but havent put them in yet. Been working on getting the truck running right and chasing a leak in the ac system
