Re: Project Roxy
![]() First time off jack stands since February. The front is about 2 3/4" from laying the front crossmember out. Something is binding and I can't figure it out. Has 2 1/2" drop spindles and 62-70 ball joints.. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Roxy
If it seems like your binding and it wont drop out the rest of the way check your steering center link/bar to make sure it is not flipped. I had mine flipped by accident and didnt know because it installs just fine flipped, and that is about how much it kept from laying crossmember and as soon as I flipped it to the correct direction, it sat right on the garage floor!

Re: Project Roxy
I don't think that's going to cause his problem!! He's running a rack and pinion on the dropmember..

I'm thinking it might be the wrong balljoints or maybe the shocks are bottoming out.. I need to investigate it more. |

Best route is to start using the process of elimination. Take one thing off at a time and see if it makes a difference. I would remove the shock first, then if that doesn't change anything, unhook the tie rod end at the spindle... and follow that route until she lays down all the way. Should be something simple.... it always is! ![]() Nate

Re: Project Roxy
Redneck ingenuity is winning out on this truck. A muffler clamp welded to a frame tube will work just fine for an air tank mount..
