I think you’d be fine. You’ll have the cv shaft a little closer to the bottom of your spring/strut base but that doesn’t move. Mine is a torsion bar setup but the axle is almost horizontal just sitting there.
My CV’s clear fine.Those are the same knuckles I have. I was looking on here for a pic I had posted because it’s dark outside. The only one I found has a photobucket watermark across it. But I’ve had no issues in 60k miles on mine. I can take pics after work tomorrow if needed.
I had 2” shackles then decided to drop it some when I did my front lower ball joints. I did 2” McGaughys spindles/knuckles and 3” BellTech leaf springs. BellTech also makes a 3.5” lowering leaf spring. You could do a 2” spring and a 2” shackle too.
Nothing is really going to make any noticeable difference in fuel economy. A tune/programmer woke mine up a little bit, but nothing drastic. The ambient air intakes are more for looks than anything. I found I get better mileage by just driving the speed limit or a couple under and keeping my...
My 4x4 is lowered 2/3 with 305/45/22 on SRT10 wheels. I only have slight rubbing at full lock on the sway bar. Not enough to hear but I can see the rub marks.
My pump never whined, but it got weak. Usually all power steering pumps have the same kind of whine when they’re going out. A pump is about $3x dollars. I went ahead and got the complete assembly with reservoir and pulley for around $100 to save time and hassle.
My latch on the left side drops back down. I have to manually pull the latch up while lifting the handle and hold it until I get the latch almost to the striker and then push the tailgate closed.
Replaced the rear u-joint. Having been in there for 18 years and 177k miles, it was a little stubborn. A little heat and the BFH finally got the old one out.
I still have the factory coil packs at 174k miles. I wouldn’t change them unless you’re getting a misfire on a cylinder and it turns out to be the coil instead of the plug. I get around 15-18 mpg still. The cats could be getting clogged at that mileage and choking the engine a bit. Mine are...
I’d be careful using power steering fluid, I unknowingly ran it in mine when my rack started leaking a little. The pump was short lived after running it vs. the atf+4 that it requires.
Used to make these on my LS1 cars. A small air compressor air/oil separator and a couple of barbed hose ends. Worked like a charm and I could see the amount inside without opening it, plus a drain was built in. I have to remove the one on my Coyote to check it.
