How about IFS? What kind of improvement might you see by removing the sway bar on stock IFS?

it'll help. like everything else, your truck'll roll a little more, but it definitely helps.

Thanks!!!

pick up a FSM or shop manual. it will save u a lot of time searching for stuff

The rear is pretty simple, almost self explanitory, the front is no fun at all. There is a thread around here somewhere for an easier way to remove the front. For the rear you just need to basically remove the 4 bolts on the inside of the backing plate pull the axles and then remove all the little bolts and pull the 3rd. Of course there is a few misc. things to pull off but those are obvious if you look at it.

Ya but with ifs itll wear your tires edges a bit more from the rolling. Really noticeable in my swampers. but you will notice the small amount of flex when doing tank traps and stuff that realy flex your rig out.

My tires wear perfectly. Been thru 3 sets on this truck. Never had an alignment either, lol. Actually, I didnt even really notice that it was off on road. u get used to it.

you don''t have to pull your steering arm or knuckles just rotate your birfs to the flat side to remove

If so this may give some "insight" to all these nice guys trying to help you out and may put a lot of their questions to rest.

yup, thats my truck !!!
Just to update you i got my 2 sets of Yukon 5.29 gear sets, i also got 2 sets of Yukon master install kits, i also got my Aussie Locker in the mail which i will put in the front and i will weld my rear, just waiting for money to get everything installed, i also installed a 3 inch body lift on my truck..... next will be Longfield super birfs then next will most likely be 38 12.50 Tsl Swampers..

The plan seems to change every two to three posts here...you have big tire envy, its too bad, you have a good truck there. Fact is, without the body lift or any of that junk, if you did the work on the axles and stayed 33's or did some triming and went 35's you would not be having stuck problems. Bigger tires do not fix all your problems...lock it and learn to drive it.

Now quoted twice Glen

So true so true, there is a balance to everything you upgrade, if you move outside that balance you will have problems. Bigger tires means needing lower gears or you may run out of power. Now you'll need a lower tcase ratio. All that does is make a different part the weak link. Big tires, low, low gears and lockers will now start breaking things.

And that's when you find out how much you really love this past-time/sport, if you can live with your wallet empty because you are constantly pouring it into your rig and still love it you are truly addicted.

On mine its just the very edges of the farthest lugs are rounding off pretty bad from it leaning over so much. My tires are also unbalanced and my alignment is visibly off...badly!
