Evidence of a good time!

You too man. If I had a half ton it’d be set up like yours.

Found some broken welds on the camper shell supports so tore everything out to see the overall condition. Thing is pretty hammered, I’ll be doing some repairs on it here soon. Also pulled roof rack off, not sure I’ll be putting it back on. Found a new mounting spot for the water pump.

Got some heims in and built myself an adjustable track bar using 1.5” .250 wall dom tube.

That's is one beefy TB

Sure is, I kept debating on what to use for the bar itself. Was torn between 1.25"x.120 chromoly tube or the 1.5"x.250 dom. Ended up going with the 1.5" just because it sounds like its way overkill.

Painted the TB and installed along with 1.5 spacers on top of the 1.5 icon coils. Knowing I would need to use a spring compressor to get everything to squeeze in, I didn’t even disconnect anything other than that sway end links for the install. Went in without any issues. Got that 1.5 rake back. 39.5” front, 41 in the rear. Had to do some adjusting on the Tbar to get everything centered up again. Before and after pics.

Don't you have a relo bracket ? or you want to beef up the stocker?

Yes it's relocated, this stock rear is just super flimsy. Like you said you can flex it by hand, not too keen on it.

I’ll send you the list of all the parts and where to get if you want.

Heims for the sway links have already been purchased and in transit. Maybe next week sometime.

I was surprised how much difference that bar makes. Seems more solid back there now, or it’s all in my head. Either way I like it.

Wait until you throw the links too, she'll feel even better.

Can't figure out how to double quote, if you could shoot me that list id much appreciate it.

I'm sure that bar made a big difference, this stock one is embarrassing. I felt a huge difference when I was messing with my relocation and everything, so I'm sure that stiff bar made a huge difference.

I'll get the list to you. There may be cheaper vendors for the heim joints but these guys are very reputable and their website is pretty user friendly.

Heims arrived way sooner than expected so built the upgraded sway bar links. Set them at +1.5”.
