zomeizter Posted April 3, 2021 Author Posted April 3, 2021 Took the truck for a drive to break things in and to check on road behavior, all is well, even the shackle angle improved!
Pete M Posted April 3, 2021 Posted April 3, 2021 excellent! don't forget to check all your torque values. "some settling may occur"

zomeizter Posted July 2, 2021 Author Posted July 2, 2021 Got some rubbing going on with the tie rod and quick disco bottom, does this mandate a dropped pitman installation?
Pete M Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 the rule of thumb is that drop pitmans should only be used if you're also dropping the trackbar mount too. otherwise it screws up the angles and brings bump-steer into the equation. I know I've seen some sort of relocation brackets for the lower sway links, but can't think of the company at the moment because my google results are flooded with JK and JL relocation brackets.
zomeizter Posted July 5, 2021 Author Posted July 5, 2021 Hell yes, thanks Pete, Chupacabra drives really nice as is and I would not want to alter handling at all. On the lookout for some relo bracketry...or I may just fab something off my hording stash.
