sroeser01 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Are your struts topping out when going over bumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewp29 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah, I have had a few occasions where they have. Usually it happens when you are dropping a tire off a ledge. As long as I take it a little slower it is fine. Normal road bumps even at highway speeds are not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewp29 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Oh, and rocky2, yes, the camber was a huge PITA. Right now I have the top holes slotted and the spindle locked to the strut body with a camber bolt in the bottom hole at the max angle outward. But, the camber is perfect like this. As the springs settle I should be able to have some range in the negative camber, and I'll probably replace the camber bolts with the stock ones. I also had to trim quite a bit to fit the tires. The front of the front wells I cut off a bit of the well and moved the screw clips so it pulled the liner towards the front. Then I had to trim the bumper back to match. At the rear of the front well I had to trim the sheet metal behind the liner and then heat gun the liner to push it back. I still have a little rubbing on the outer tread blocks while backing up a hill and turning the wheel. Edited February 20, 2013 by drewp29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewp29 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks Iceman, it did change the look quite a bit. Still haven't gotten around to the SFD to solve my CV issue. Getting close though. I'll post it up when I get it finished. Currently it sits without a front driveshaft, but it drives fine in 2wd so it is still useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
