TopOfTheLine89

damn tyler that thing is a beast. i cant wait to get mine done! im thinking mine is not gonna be quite as radical as yours though. my suspension is not, just a good old three link in the front with panhard and a four link with a panhard in the rear with coils. im just wanting the engine you've got to jump into mine already. lol

i had some of the same thing happen to me. i cleaned up the threads in the frame with a tap, got new, hardened, longer bolts from copper state and tah dah.

mine leaks too. i just got a box off a 91 in the junk yard and was gonna swap them, but first i was thinking of attempting to do the 40 dollar rebuilt kit on my new one just for good measure. has anyone done it before? comments on the project?

well i have my old t-bars but will it change the lift cause right now i have calmini t-bars which are a little thicker. what "keys"? are you talking about the anchors? I havent had any time to tear it down yet so maybe this or next week end I will rip everything apart and see whats going on. I have a parts pathfider that I can take any parts I need from, so I prolly dont need to buy anything. but thanks

Im in the same boat as lowrider. IFS is all crapped up and I want to wheel it hard. how much money is it to SAS. how hard and where do I get parts?

how much money would it be to do a SAS on a 89 SE? How hard is the swap/install? where do I get everything I need for parts? I want to go higher! Current. 3in BL; 3in Calmini suspesion lift. thorley headers. 33 12.50 bgf Muds

I got a 89 SE im thinking about doing the SAS. after everything's said and done what am i looking at price wise and how hard is the actual swap., ( stand alone toolbox mechanic.) where can i get everything to do the SAS?

DiD it pop in and out again? Guess what! this exact thing happened to me yesterday. I was wheelin down this creek and my front driver-side tire fell in this hole and the same time i heard a loud crack/pop and while I drove out of the creek and my tire rubbed like crazy my pathy was leaning to the left about to squish my front left tire. I had to reidex my torsion twice on the trail. I have calmini's suspension lift with HD torsion bars. I had the same problem with the reverse torsion and what I had to do to get it so there was not pressure was jack up the truck and then jack up the lower A arm until there is no more reverse pressure; take the anchor arm off and drop the tire back on. Along with that I bent a tie rod and my alignment is a joke. if you need any more adivice let me know. Im dealing with this today so ya.

how much money is it to SAS

So i went four wheeling after finally getting my 3 inch body lift and my 3 inch calmini lift and my brand new 33 12.50 BFG muds on, and guess what? something breaks. Well nothing really broke but my torsion bars actually popped out while bouncing over a couple holes. So After having to reidex my driver-side torsion bar in the rocks and sand, it popped out again! so again put it back on there and didnt have anymore problems after that. but my truck is crooked and I am about to go fix the torsion and alignment but I had a few ?s before starting. 1. Should the anchors to the torsion be flush against the cross-member?, or should there be space in between the anchorr and Xmember? 2. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? 3. how do I make sure this never happens again? ( besides SAS which I might do.)

wow. is that bumper compatible with a 89 SE?

should the anchor be tight up against the cross member? I recently just put the calmini lift on my 89, and the front of my truck is squatting down in the front, a lot. since I was putting new torsion bars on, I didnt have any where to start from so this write up was only partial help. . the first time I put the t-bars on, the anchor would not go all the way up to the crossmember so I had to re-adjust it so the anchor would go all the way up. but I think I over adjusted, and now I am just confused so if someone has dealt with this before I really could use some help.

how do i take the shifter boot off? manual SE 89

idk if it is LSD or not. it is just stock. I am prolly just gonna swap the third member.

i just put headers on mine and have yet to do sn oil chsnge with them on... what am i up against?
