A 1- 11/2" drop hanger would move your spring that much further away from your pitman arm which would reduce the chance of contact. It would also solve your death wobble problem. the spring clamps would stop the contact between the spring and drag link during down travel

Ok, the spring hanger makes sense now.

We were going to use the Camero as a ramp, but Dave's wife wasn't keen on the idea.

you might not have to change the pitman arm once you get the drop hanger and if you do I think a 2wd one has less drop it looks good driving down the road though

Front shocks are set at 100%, rear shocks are set at 75%.

Done!
For now.

Hyena · « **Reply #561 on:** Feb 26, 2006, 08:07:38 PM »

those rear shocks are gonna get hit by rocks. they sit pretty low.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #562 on:** Feb 26, 2006, 08:42:11 PM »

Yeah probably, I'll deal with that when it happens though.
