Really? Thts wierd

1/2 ton did ride like poo-poo tho, 3/4 ton got some good shocks on her. Its stiff but its not harsh at all.

Did you have the 1/2 tin cranked?

yup, the 3/4 ton is too but it rides much better. If i can find some more 3/4 ton uca's im going to show yall a trick me and my buddy came up with to restore the ride and alignment on one of these. It works great and i have never seen it on the internet before. It corrects your upper ball joint angle too.

Well hurry with it!!

Can't find any more 3/4 ton uca's in the area. Its gotta be a heavy duty (8600 gvw) 4x4 3/4 ton or a 1 ton 4x4. Im not sure it'll work on a 3/4 ton with factory wheels. I have 17s so no worries. It works on the same principle as a ball joint flip on the half tons, but the 3/4 and 1 ton upper ball joints are already in the "flipped" position from the factory.

I think im going to have to do a section on driveshaft fab too, Everyone seems to stray away from it. I can show someone who has been practicing welding for 3 days and never done any fab work in their life how to build a proper driveshaft that will not vibrate and is strong as factory. (not on a aluminum/composite driveshaft tho, those are a whole different animal)

I fixed my issue with it missing, cam position sensor in the distributor was messed up. Runs like a champ now. I knew something was wrong with my baby. now she is happy happy happy
Glad it was something simple
