Nope. I have been swamped at work all week. Not much time to 'play'.

Default Steering linkage discussion

Well, Im trying to tighten up my steering. I ordered a new tie rod end due to a punctured boot on one end. Should have it on the 8th. Will see how much that tightens it up. Ive got a dropped pitman arm on the drag link to try and get the geometry closer to stock but not sure if that is enough.
Ive got dual stabilizers on it now and have looked at the PSC hydraulic assist like others have but is a little pricey for me at this time.
Any other thoughts?

A draglink flip kit. Sometimes drop pitman arms cause more problems than they solve. Thats from experience.

Well the lift is finally on! Jordan and I installed it yesterday at his ridiculously awesome shop. The install went smoothly, and the vehicle rides pretty well. I'm going to get an alignment done this week, and then I'll be able to properly evaluate the handling.

Here's some pics.

Uh oh!! Those tires look way too big, but don't worry, I'll take them off your hands so you can purchase a more suitable smaller size.

Looks awesome Micah!! Bet your really enjoying the new set-up.
