Upgrade Steering and Suspensions Parts

[citiboy]

Well, got a 45min. spare time and installed rear shocks and stab links...only thing that bother me are the grease fitting on the links....hopefully rocks wont shear them.

tomp, thanks for the great info as always, for now, i'll see if this TR would hold for the type of trails we do here....i actually almost bought the DMAX rods.

We have one H2 front diff grenade on the trail and his oem half-shaft we're perfectly OK. Don't know how what happened though.

I peeked under the truck and yes, my bushings are welded also.

Thanks bro...... while in there, did you checked if the bushings are loose? you might be surprise what you find.

[pdxrealtor]

No, but I will. I was just taking a quick peek for ya.

How do you tell if they're loose?

All good stuff. I did most of that last year.

Cognito steering support kit
Cognito upper control arm kit
Rare Parts Tie Rods
Bilstein front and rear shocks
Rancho steering stabilizer
Moog Pitman and Idler

But I also added Crown Stainless Steel brake lines. No failures with those puppies.

Good luck with the install.

Thanks, how do you like the overall ride of the Bilstein? i can't tell yet the ride quality of mine 'coz i only installed the rear.

Crown brake lines are definitely on my to do list

get a pry bar and pry it side to side....if the rubber bushings are separated from the housing then, you have a bad one. i've noticed that they we're bad when i replaced my tb keys. mine's 08 and they're needed to be replace .
