I just did my lift a few days ago and was wondering...
How much thread do you have showing between the collar and the bottom of the shock in the front on the SAW's.
Also are your fins on your CV's touching a little as well.

It differs.. unless im wrong.. its late and raining, but its near 2" on the passenger side and near 3" on the drivers.. i think ill check that sometime after it settles... Im sure its level, we measured each side from the wheel up to the fender...
and it does look like the fins of the CV boot is touching..

I have a closer pic if you need to see better. after a while it will wear through. that's when it'll be time to do the ORS manual hub conversion.

I guess I am a little confused on the manual hub swap.
I have read this a little in some previous threads but when i search by "cv boot" or"cv" anything for that matter the search engine tells me that the word does not have the minimum 3 characters.
Anyway, When the time comes and your CV is torn or leaking or making noise, etc. why switch to the manual hubs and not replace the CV Boot and joint.
Is it expense? And correct me if I am wrong but, once the manuals are in...you can never shift into 4wheel on the fly again. Correct? I mean you always have to get out, turn your hub and then get back in the car.
Can someone shed some light on this conversion for me.
Thanks
Dave
