Cool. Tim Hortons on me.

Do you have the stock or Hellwig swaybar?

Mine came with the stock swaybar, helwig has been on my mind for awhile now.

I wonder if the Hellwig might help with the issue? I have mine set at the most aggressive, but I am planning on testing it at different settings to feel the difference.

Yeah it really feels like the rear is unloading at speed so thats what makes me think the drop put a little more pressure on it than it was designed for.

Did you have to do any modifications to make the GF work for your?

None at all so that's cool and its an option for us 4x4s

That is good to know. I wonder why GF is not showing it as a fit for the 4x4s

That's the thing I think it might have to do with the whole truck as if you are looking at just the hood and not the body lines it makes the front end look higher.

Really? So the front is higher than the back? On my truck it still had a fair amount of rake. Do you mind posting a pic?

 

[Etroze86]

Yes I can just need to wash it today and really its same gap front and back but the hood makes it look higher

I tried the lower settings, lowest I could feel wobble, the second not really and of course I drive with it on the highest setting.
After detailed discussion with my west coast family a whix bar or anything other than a proper 4 link would not help, so I'm all in on a new Spohn upper and lower.

I think it will work really good for you, bro! Make sure and upgrade to the Delrin bushings, though. The pu one's are weak... Let me know how ya like em.

 

[Lhemi]

Will do.

Spohn adjustable control arms

Hey Davidram, was just curious why u went with the black adjustable arms instead of the red colored ones?

I didn't want them to stand out to much. I didn't want them to show dirt. I felt it would look too busy under there with a bunch of red bars going everywhere.

Now that I added the MagHytec diff cover and the QA1s, I am even more happy I went with black.

(the first pic is an old pic before the tips were powder coated)

Grey/red

Looks great man! Just thought u had this black/red combo goin on?

 

[DavidRam]

Thanks man! You are right. But I wanted most of the red to be under the hood. What color did you get and how do you like them??

P.S. I had a talk with myself and I warned myself about doing too much red!

I got the red adjustable control arms only because I thought that was the only option. I haven't installed them thank goodness because I would have been pissed only to discover the clunk clunk from pu bushings. Thanks again for letting everyone know about the delrin bushings!

David, I'm surprised you haven't done anything about that rusty driveshaft.

Ugly, heavy, rusty thing, isn't it... lol. I really want to do something about it.
