Re: Truck Sits Crooked

oh definately it made a humongous change, the ride feels more firm, and i havnt even replaced the "factory stock shocks". my control arms arent loose anymore and it also changed the stance a little.

down here i was looking at about 50buck per side on control arm bushings only, i ordered the kit from summit and for about 100 somthing, i got all front plus sway bar bushings, trans mount, and rear leaf spring bushings, and other ones that i still havnt figured out where they go. lol..

oh yeah, and that 1/4" i think is from the gas tank, cuz my truck only has 1 tank, but i plan on adding the other tank and just adding transfer pump into my other tank, i dont wanna cut the side of the bed, and with that done, im sure it will get rid of that 1/4.

Re: Truck Sits Crooked

Really I am looking to do this def you got the kit from summit. I have that pickle fork what was the hardest part I have already had my a frames seperated when I installed the front springs. How long did it take you to do both sides.
