Re: slow ride (redux)

I thought I took more pictures today but I guess all I did was sweat and swear.

axle out finally, only took TWENTY NINE BOLTS/NUTS.


I dropped the driveshaft off to be shortened, just 1.5 inches, it was enough to squeak at full drop. I am also adding some pinion angle with some 4 degree shims and moving the lowers back about 1/2 inch. this will allow me to cruise with 30psi instead of 60.

got the rockstars off and washed.



the 7" wide steels dont fit the front, which suits me fine, the 6" fit so it will look nice and staggered with 205/75 and 235/75 rears on the 7s.

gotta get some new bolts for the upper wishbone mount, the old ones were loosening themselves. also need some axle locator bolts, the ART ones were seized and I couldnt get them loose, so I cut them off. Maybe finish up tomorrow! tires and caps too!

saw this crossing the street in front of me.
