sammyb33 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 ok i just got the Rough Country UCA's, and wondered if they could be swapped, driver for passenger, to get more clearance on the bumpstop. just wondering if someone has attempted this....i would like just a little more room to balance out the front of my rig..... thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Why don't you just attach a couple of sticks of dynamite to the CVs and be done with them that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 If they are specific side to side, thats for a reason.... What up FL ?? You need that dynamite for an enema or what ?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Filthy's right. Removing (or swapping for the same effect) the stops would result in the loss of the CVs. They designed them that way to save the CV's If leveling is all you want and you are about maxed out on the T-Bars (with stops intact) you might consider trimming the coils in the rear to lower the back down some.

jj big shoe Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 You can, but as Lurker so eloquently stated, it's not recommended. The CVs will be at a severe angle and prone to binding/breaking under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 yea i did assume they were there for a reason. all i really need is another quarter to a half of an inch to level it, so i was just really wondering if that would/could hurt them that much. (as i am not a master on the art of CV's, i just thought it better to ask the guru's.... ) but if you think they will bind, i suppose i will not do it.

RedPath88 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 lol, then perhaps trimmin in the rear is an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 FYI, Nissans were designed to have a slight positive rake (or slightly nose down). The handling characteristics of them suffer when they are level or have a negative rake (nose up). If it's only 1/2" from level, I'd leave it be. It's going to be way too much work to be worth another 1/2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheel366 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I can attest to that. I have my Tbars maxed out and keeping it straight on bumpy roads is brutal. The Calmini steering kit is supposed to help with a lot of that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
