...or go hardcore and order some rear adjustable lower links from Indy4x and problem solved forever. You can adjust your rake, and make the vehicle ride better again.

Found the link for this...
But, could you please 'splain to an unedjumukated fool where these go?

drain & refill the rear pumpkin too (don't forget the LSD additive).

Somewhere I read I didn't need the LSD additive when I changed to Royal Purple.

Relax Sue, you just drove 3K miles without a problem, I gotta believe if it was a serious oversight you would have heard/felt/paid for it by now.

You won't need to get the front re-aligned just because you removed the spacers in the back. If you adjust your TBs again to compensate though, you will need an alignment.

I think I'm going to have to pull the rear spacers.
I'm not too crazy about he ~2" rake, and... the darned noise is back *intermittant*.
Dang it.
Hoping this will help.

Just for piece of mind *don't want to spend another $140 on allignment*...

Please confirm that I will not need to align again if I pull the spacers out.

If it doesn't help anything, I'll put them back in I guess.

Ummm, rear suspension mod should have nothing to do with alignment...and for 99 bucks, Pepboys does 1 year unlimited alignments, even on 4wd. I know some others have similar deals, but they wouldn't do it on a modified 4wd when I asked.

I still think the noise is from the rear tire rubbing the fender...

*Lol* I was contemplating those rims as well until I found something a bit out of the ordinary. Looks good, can't wait to see it with them installed.

What did you do about your tie rod ends?

What did you do about your tie rod ends?

I did not change them... they are stock.
For what I do with the VX (90% Street/10% Off-Road), the stock Tie Rods are adequate.

But, you do bring up a good question...

For those who have lifted, is there a way to fix the bump-steer?
I love being up high and all, but the bump steer is a little much.

On my old Porsche 914, they sold "steering rack spacers" that correct the angle of the tie rods. Is something like this possible?

[JHarris1385]

Looks great!

[99VC]

Hey Jim, Nice improvement, wish you had done this to your 99. Let me know when your ready to sell...

[Triathlete]

The wheels look great! To bad they didn't get there a few days earlier so I could have seen 'em in person. For everyone else...those tires are great looking in person. The tread pattern is real similar to the BFG KM2's. They look BEEFY!

[vt_maverick]

Great look! Definitely a huge departure/upgrade from where you were just a few weeks ago!

[Gussie2000]

Those shoes

After stearing at your baby i feel more pissed then ever about how some one stoled my old rims from my driveway.

I had plans and in my mind was those same tires.

What's wrong with a 2" rake? Just means you look like you're permanently slamming on the brakes.

LOL!
Exactly!
Great analogy!

I have the 1.5" daystar spacers and 912's and experience no issues with driveshaft noise... wonder if it varies from truck to truck?

edit: I just went back and read that you have the 919's. nevermind!
