Not sure if that's "NORMAL", ....I have none, .....but WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Guess it's a good thing that guy flaked, ...now you have a new "IN" in the "INspection World", eh?

Congratz, Brandon, now you can relax and tackle other things at your own pace, right?

I plan on it, but my budget for them right now went to an $80 cat. That and the need to replace that idler arm. I got 3 months to get this thing trail ready, and BJ's although would be nice, being able to steer the truck after wheeling for two days straight is more important than ride quality. haha.

I did the same thing!
I was planning on BJ spacers and addaleaf in the back but when i put my swampers on it REALLY brought out the wobble in the front end and brought some problems out of hiding.

I went ahead and ordered from summit racing
2 Inner tie rods
2 outer tie rods
2 tie rod sleeves
pitman arm
idler arm
Most of it was MOOG to. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

$245.00 bucks later, i didn't have money for alignment...So i put my 33's back on and im waiting for my next paycheck to put them on and take it to the shop for an alignment

Idler and pitman will be done next week after Wed. Got to measure the rear and flex it out somehow to see which shocks to go with.

What shocks are you choosing from? Pro-Comp and Bil's or something? I was thinking of going with some OME's in the rear, to match the ones I have for the front if I EVER can get my buddy to do the front end with me? lol.
