Re: slow ride (redux)
hmm, right or left....
RIGHT! cleaned up the 7s I got for the rear tires were dry rotted at the bead, dangerous! so I got some new 235/75 for the rear and 215/70 for the front. finished up the axle swap. the 4x4 axle has an extra jounce pad for some soft bumpstops in front of the axle pad. the ridetech mount didnt fit so I had to cut it off. axle bolted right up went back in with a little sweat and some grunting. pinion angle looks swimming now. when I took the tires in for some reason they put the white letters out. while they were switching them I replaced the left rear caliper line. I nicked it when I was cutting the ubolts to remove the rear end. dont mind the mess. I need to clean my "shop". All Season Garage™ !! The rear is lower now, I might turn the bumpstops out a little or leave it the way it is. so now it has rear discs and a locker rear. after lunch I will bleed the brakes and charge the AC and go for a cruise! should have a lot more power now without the 31" rear tires and should cruise better with 215/235 instead of 255/285.
