MY1PATH Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 technically you should turn the nut with the suspension unloaded but if its all greased and turns smoothly either end will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I believe you have less settling if you don't jack up the vehicle; you never unload the suspension... B The suspension is currently COMPLETELY unloaded. The settling with stock bars, that have been in the truck for 15 years should be minimal, especially going back up to the same height. Either way will work, Fueler..whether on the ground or off, I've just found it easier with no load on the suspension. Personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The suspension is currently COMPLETELY unloaded. One side, not the side he is trying to match. Oh, FUELER, when you start to get close to the 'old' height, the non damaged side will start lift also so keep measuring both sides until they are even, then check them against the rear. I believe slightly nose down is the desired stance, mine is .75" lower in front but .5-1.0" should be a good range. I measure to the center of the body crease and graduated a metal pole for this so I could just set it there and not fight with a tape measure each time.

FUELER Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 its done and the WD is gone from my drivweay!! I want to thank everybody here for all the great advice and help!! The only problem, was that i indexed the anchor arm too low.... so now the anchor arm kinda sticks out from under the crossmember, by about 3/4 of an inch. Well he doesn't rock crawl, and i was working for free, so we left it like that, shouldn't be a problem. THANKS AGAIN ALL YOU GUYS I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

OldSlowReliable Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 don't turn the bottom bolt.....I cranked mine against the bump stops, cause it was on jacks....by turning the bottom of the bolt...I wasn't paying attention but it was grinding down so its now about 1/8" thinner than the other...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm glad to see this thread - I will have to re-check my t-bars now... I think when I re-indexed them, I may not have put them into the anchors the whole way... would really suck to have the threads strip out on me...

flnl Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) This just happened to mine, for the second time. The first one I was at a trail and thought it was caused by some bumps over rocks. Now it happened when I was going to work. I've just heard a large CLANK and the truck sat like a lowrider on the driver's side, while the passenger's side is lifted I didn't have time yet to check if the anchor or the tbar is stripped.

Precise1 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It it engaged all the way? Is the snap ring in place on the other side of the rear cross member? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's missing. It is what keeps the anchor in place, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I just went out and took some shots of mine for comparison To me it looks like your adjuster slid back and took the TB with it. If you look at the rear shot of both my your adjuster and mine you will see that frame crossbar is sitting in the groove at the end of the adjuster, while yours is not. My guess is that you do not have the C-Clip on the front/TB side of the adjuster (See second pic above) Also take note of the difference in the amount of threads visible at the front of the TBs/LCAs.

flnl Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The C-Clip is there. But the splines of the front anchor are stripped just as FUELER's photo. I guess it was improperly installed by the guys that rebuilt the tranny. I'm gonna check some JY to get "new" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
