yes, the topic speaks for itself. i'm considering the drop bushing for my front but its only .5" drop. is it worth spending the $$$??? is that little bit really helpful to reduce CV wear? :coffee!:

i second that opinion. steve has great service.

FYI i'm going to save up for the rear mechanical locker. thanks for all the input.

has anyone experienced using the front diff drop bushing? is it really helpful? its only .5" drop. is that enough?

okay... i'm going to rethink this if its illegal. hummmm but thanks for the instuctions.

okay...my stock inner tie rod ends are toast. i did a search and heim joints came up but no instructional posting for this modification. any suggestions as to how well it works over OEM or what size heim joints i need? or any other mods to improve the strength. thanks.

i just spoke to steve at rugged rocks yesterday... he just told me to forget about the upper control arms. the result would not be what i was looking for over my current set up.

i understand not cranking up the T bars and leaving 1" gap... with those safety measures in place, is it still worth getting the UCA? am i going to get a noticable gain from my current setup? i hate to do all that work if its only just .5- .75" gain from now. my curiousity started by reading AC's site about their UCA gaining a full 3" over stock. i think i have 1.5-2" gain over stock now with my stock t-bars cranked up and .5" ball joint spacers. i also have .5" gap from my bumpstop.

i've never seen that bushing for sale for our trucks... i will do a search...

that is my consideration now as i'm wonder if i should get the UCA from 4x4parts.com

okay... i was just chating with my certified mechanic buddy.... and he know me truck pretty well. he mentioned that i may not want to lift my front too much than what i have now because of the stress on my weak CV joint. the additional angle may break it. now, his is not a nissan guy but rather a toyota guy. and that was his advice from a toyota IFS point of view. he was suggesting that i can only get another 1" max on new UCA. so what do you guys think....

yes... but will 33" change my stock gearing ratio... i think yes...i like the gearing now (not the best but works just fine for me)... i don't want to loose any more torque on the 4low.

i searched last night and did not find much opinon on this topic. i have my T bars cranked up with a 1/2" ball joint spacer for alignment. i just got back from the huge San Diego's 47th Desert Safari run, and i 've decided to lift my front more and do rear locker. so i need help. the AC upper control arms are going for $205.00 are they worth the money? ps... i also have some homemade coilovers on my front shocks for increase spring rate. i like the ride comfort. i just want more ground clearence. thanks.

i got my urethane bushing from 4x4parts.com... i replaced the upper and lower trail arm bushings for the rear. big difference on the highway. much more stable

welding it... uhmm. i never thought of that before. but how would that feel driving on the road and around town? the inside and outside wheel would be in conflict? right?
