So, after the bumper install I took the truck down to a shop with a twin beam lift and began the TC install. Everything went relatively straight forward but I am concerned about one issue... the truck is not sitting level. The springs are sitting within about 1/8" of each other relative to the threads on the fox shocks but overall there is a remarkable difference of over an inch between the tire and fender between the passenger and driver's side (after getting it aligned). The shocks are adjusted to match each other within 1/8" (Fox did not include the spanners to adjust the ride height) So do I attempt to crank the driver's side to equalize the truck and then have it re-aligned? Pics are below, tell me what ya all think.

Any ideas? I have been staring at it for hours now. I think I need a fresh pair of eyes. Like I said, the only idea I have is cranking on the ride height set caps.

 

Its the common taco lean, nothing new..

Thats the beauty of adjustable coilovers, you can fix the taco lean.
If TC or Fox didnt include a spanner call them and get one, or make your own makeshift one.

Good luck.

Oh, And you should deff raise that bumper to match the body lift

 

Aside from the lean, hows it ride with the TC front installed?

 

Looks great Ryan! Can't wait to see it in person in Sept!

And I agree, call and get a spanner wrench. You'd think it would come with the kit!

 

Man and I thought it was so when you put your foot into it the torque would level it out and not make it look like it has a lean to the left

 

Kinda what I figured. Only bitch of it all is the fact I will have to get her aligned again, DOH!

I am thinking of simply heading up to the Mech-E shop here at school to build a "modesty panel" to hide the body lift. If I had kept the original hardware I think I would take out the damn body lift all together. Somehow I think my tires rubbing upon the inner fender has turned into a thing of the past. I also need to make some armor and or weld a plate across the bottom of the bumper for the extended reservoirs, they are mounted in the perfect place for a rock to come up and munch on them.

I also need to adjust the limit straps to set the CV angle at full droop. Right now it lets the CV droop a little past where I feel comfortable. What is the story on these straps shredding themselves to bits? It would seem while bombing around they would be under quite a bit of stress.

I just realized the jack stands here at the house may no longer be tall enough... and the days of hitting my chest on as I squirm under the truck are over as well!

 

sweet rig man! love those coilovers

 

It's daylight now..... flex pics?

 

uhhmm...i think you needa post up some new pics...like the other guy said...ITS DAYLIGHT NOW!!!!..

......FAIL..because of the dark pics..LOL just playin with ya man

awesome rig though!!!

 

So I went for a short shakedown run up the 9K peak just outside of town, I didn't get any flex shots because the person riding with me is currently on crutches but have no fear, there will be some pics soon.

I think I may have overfilled the bushings on the driver's side. They are running noticeably hotter and are a little puffed out. I also noted a possible blown inner axle seal (which is brand new) on the passenger's side CV. When I was gassing up it was pissing gear lube all over the place. I am going to pull the fill plug and check the level today.

The ride is a night and day difference compared to my blown bilsteins. The truck now rides like a truck instead of a bucking bronco. Instantly arrests rebounds. The spring rate up front feels just right for the weight on it and I am waiting on ORW to call me back to obtain the spanner to correct the dreaded taco lean.

All in all I am beyond satisfied next on the hit list is to drill a 3 1/4" hole on the passenger side fender and assault the intake with black silicone.

 

SICK!!!!! glad it worked out! lets see some daytime pics!
