Hey anyone with the 3/4 drop kit know the correct endlinks (front/rear) to get that will position the sway bar back to stock? Also where might I be able to get some polyurethrane bushings for the sway bar?

 

Rayden's Cloud,

Measure the actual drop that the truck is lowered and use that measurement to apply to the length of the new endlinks. For instance, if the truck was lowered 3" in the front, measure the stock endlinks and subtract 3" from that, and that will determine the length of the new endlinks. Pep Boy's sells a variety of end links and probably has the size you need.

As for the rear, the same applies. They are dog bone style and Pep Boy's does not sell them. I cut mine to the appropriate length and welded them back together.

Hope this helps,

Tim

 

Thanks for the advice man...What about the urethane bushings that go on the sway bar..From what i hear that helps stiffen things up also..where might i be able to find those?

Be careful of the steering linkage.

 

Spike,

Would you mind elaborating on the steering linkage? I've been wondering about this since I've seen similar posts with no definite explanation. Or at least point me to some post where it has been explained?

Thanks,

Tim

 

Tim,

The times I have pointed it out have only been when someone is told to cut the front endlink 3" without regard to the rest of the moving parts in that area. The problem is that a lot of moving parts are getting closer and closer to each other.

If you lower the front 3" (huge drop) and then cut the endlink for the swaybar 3", has anyone checked whether or not the steering linkage binds thru the suspension's range of motion, while turning the wheel? Without checking it, it could be a problem. Maybe there isn't a problem, but the consequences could be dangerous.

I'm just pointing it out.

 

Spike,

Thanks for the reply. I don't know of anyone who has checked it but that would be an excellent idea.

Do you have any ideas on how to check something like this since the truck would have to be moving over bumps at the time or at least be subjected to up and down extreme movement while steering?

I would love to see someone address this issue and post on it.

Tim

 

I second this....Anyone??
