cv binding after FJ springs and 5100's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally got the '07 FJ springs and new 5100's front and back installed on my 05 4runner SR5 w/ V6. I set the 5100's at the .85 level and it leveled the front and back out with a 3/4" front rake. I really love the ride improvement over stock suspension.
While the truck was still on the lift with a full droop on the front I rotated the wheels by hand and noticed there is a slight binding on the cv joints half way through turning the wheel on each side. It probably lifts the axel's about 1/2 an inch to get through the bind each time.
I am really not an off-roader except some dirt trails to get to my favorite fishing hole. Do you think this is a concern? Should I drop to the stock height on the 5100's or maybe drop the front diff about an inch?
Thanks
Tony
