    1-2" front lift options

    So I'm liking this. Will just the Moog FJ cruiser springs with 5100's left at bottom setting lift the front any? I tested by jacking up the front, and I like it at 1" front lift, 2" seems too much for street tires, they start looking really small.

    1-2" front lift options

    Looking to reduce the rake in my 06, but also maybe reduce some of the brake dive and what feels like overly soft front suspension. This is 99% a highway car and I don't want to raise the whole thing, maybe just 1-2" up front max. I've read lots of threads and it seems the easiest would be a...

    Interesting. I've had Firestone destination LE's on it the entire time, was going to try AT next.

    Yes, steering is very tight. Latest alignment specific shop checked everything closely, said it was good. This was a problem when near new.. I guess I wouldn't say a problem, just not a great driver. Love the truck, so looking to see if others have dealt with it. I'm starting to wonder if...

    Truck is totally stock, so 17's. I've always wondered if the soft suspension of the 06 is to blame, my 98 was much firmer. Seems the front geometry and parts and fairly similar between the two, so..

    Wandering steering at highway speeds, more Caster?

    So I've been fighting this for years now on my 06. Steering isn't terrible, but on long cross country trips it's just tiring, the constant corrections, it just doesn't center well. .. and it wind, forget about it, my wife won't even take a turn at the wheel going across windy Kansas. We're...

    Replace E-locker diff with Non locker unit?

    Dang! Figured it couldn't be that easy. It's the pinion bearing that's bad actually, but the gears have always been louder than most, so I'd like to replace the entire unit. Does that east coast gear supply do rebuilds?

    Replace E-locker diff with Non locker unit?

    The rear diff is failing on my 1998 Limited with E locker function. I don't actually use that function and a standard unit is about $500 cheaper. So will it bolt in fine?
