You would have to ax for one after my wife takes her digital cam back to work. here's one I took during the TJM install and before my alignment and diff spacer install.

Here is one, it's kinda blurry. This is with 2.5" spacers and a diff drop kit before the alignment.



Hope it helps.

thanks for all the help guys. i need to know what your cvs looked like because mine are completely parallel to the ground pretty much do to all the weight up front. when i get my new t bars next week, im gonna have them cranked up again to regain some height. i just wanted to see what others were running without messing up their cv's. are any of you running manual hubs?. thanks!

oh, 4BangR-

heh, no harm meant man!. i just figured runners would do better since i have a runner...or..something..heh..oh well:pig:

That's actually the best thing for the cv's. but your ground clearance must be pretty small in the front.

I still have ADD in the front. But mine CV's aren't too bad as you can see.

Keisur, do you have any vibration issues or anything?

Ouch, is that just from normal wear?

You don't have a lift???

And those discos look very familiar, did you put them together? I have a set ready to be put on (Lars design). Do you see that they make a difference?

Yea I guess. No lift here. I don't really know how it happened.

They are Lar's disco's. I haven't really tested them out yet. I will in a few weeks though. I found out about my cv when I was installing the disco's earlier this week. On normal street driving I don't really feel a change. In the beginning I could hear the pins clinging when going over bumps but I don't hear it anymore.

Get a set of Lizard Skins for mountain bike shocks from your local bike stealership and put them on the discos, that should keep the pins from clanging. only thing is you have to pull them off when disco-ing, but they are velcro so it's easy.

yeah, i know it is, it used to not be like that when i first got my lift on. since the addition of the arb and winch, it brought it down yeah, the ground clearance is pretty brutal up front, but hey....it wil change soon enough!
