Brad251 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just bought this recently. Can I remove the body trim (chrome strip) without damaging anything? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathyAndTheJets Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wow, super clean truck! Looks like the torsion bars sagged out on the front. Stock should sit close to level with the rear. If it's glued, a heat gun and some patience, with a follow up with an adhesive remover wheel would be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad251 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 The guy I bought it from said he adjusted the torsion to stock specs. I suspected he was not correct. Its very bumpy ride. So they may need to be re indexed and or some shocks. Not sure yet. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad251 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I actually have a tool that may work. Its made for removing 3m tape that holds things together. Just to separate them. If u think it'll work. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathyAndTheJets Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Yeah. The difference in height between the bottom of the steering stop on the control arm and the center of the pivot bolt should be between 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 of an inch. It looks like yours is almost on the bump stops. That tool should work, I'd still heat it up a bit to soften the adhesive.

Brad251 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I knew something wasn't right about it. Haven't had a chance to jack it up and adjust it yet. Thanks for the measurements. Its pretty clean. Has about half of the issues all of them have: small rust spots under back seat, headlight switch issues with only 1 bright coming on. Also I'm pretty sure that's the original spare on the back. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
