Build thread or pics? :D Does anyone have a height comparison between 884 and 885 on V6? I think the coil itself 10mm longer so with leverage that should equate to 20 mm lift height. Little over 3/4 inch. Spring rate is the same so I would assume any stiffness between the 2 would be from preload.

Flygirlz, 885 in V6? I thought 884 would give V6 around 3 inches. That height looks great though, I was thinkin 884s for my V6, but now might reconsider. Stellar, V6 or V8?

Thanks for the comments, I will talk the specs over with my alignment shop. That's the first I've heard on camburg not allowing proper adjustment, they are supposed to be built with castor added back in. I've been scared away from the light racing ucas from their manufacturing issues.

Tire pressure bumped to 44 psi helped a lot but wanted to be sure it was ok for traction/wear. Looking at uca's to put on after winter is over and will update if/when I go that route. Why not camburg?

Thanks for the reply. So is it possible that driving at 35 psi for the first 5K miles has worn the outer edges to the point that at proper psi would leave the edges of the treadblocks with minimal contact? It doesn't seem like it would wear that fast - i'll have to get out the tread depth guage...

Right after I did the lift + tires.

Thanks, I was driving at 35 psi for awhile which prompted me to make a thread on why my 4R was so touchy on the highway. I found that pressure to affect my ride negatively on the highway. Bumping the pressure up really helped stability. My main concern now is traction and safety through the...

Crossposting for visibility from my other thread. 265/70/17 C load. I'm not understanding this footprint for LT load range tire here. I know to get the same load rating as stock I need to be at 44psi, but this doesn't look right to me. Shouldn't I have even wear all the way across to the end of...

I'm not understanding this footprint for LT load range tire here. I know to get the same load rating as stock I need to be at 44psi, but this doesn't look right to me. Shouldn't I have even wear all the way across to the end of the lugs? 265/70/17 C load. The first pic is my chalk test at...

Air pressure helped quite a bit. It still jumps a bit but not the death roll i was getting before. I will probably end up getting some camburg ball joint arms to correct the caster.

I get what you're saying about speed/safety/conditions, etc. I've lived in this stuff my whole life in a variety of vehicles - lifted included. It's not like this thing is 7 inches higher than stock or have a huge bodylift, it should drive reasonably well. Hopefully it was my oversight on the...

74K on the clock. Anyone have recommended parts for the bushings? Don't know much about them, would prefer greaseless and squeak free. Will update if the higher tire psi helps out any. I would assume it would.

I checked tire pressure when I got home and was surprised all 4 tires were set at 35 psi. I bumped them up to 41-ish and will see if there is any difference. Have link or part number to end links and sway bar bushings? Probably won't get to that until it warms up.

Thanks for the suggestions. The other day was 35 mph gusts, and while I expect to be blown around a bit, I do not think it should feel quite so unstable. It won't track straight for very long before needing correction even with no wind. I will check bushings but keep in mind the vehicle...

I need recommendations here. I drove in pretty nasty crosswind the other night to the point where I felt like if I over corrected I would end up in the ditch. Ever since I had lifted my vehicle, it's been a pretty squirrely at high speeds which is even more affected by wind and I've been really...
