Anybody ever put a rack under there 99-03 F-150 4X4? I know there are kits for the 2WD drive/Lightning guys with great results. I'd like to put one on my truck cause the 38"s really do a number on front end parts. Anybody know where i could find a how to or maybe a kit?

can you modify the lightning / 2 wheel drive kit???


the #1 reason us 2 wheel drive guys do it is to shed some weight, hit up JJ @ Woodbine Motor Sports

 

JJ said his kit wont work. Just not strong enough. Im going to look into a 04+ F-150 rack i guess.

If you do this mod, keep us updated. Also Wayne, I think I remember you once posting about idler arm replacement. Did you ever find a replacement idler arm that works better than OEM?

 

I have been through about a dozen Moog arms on my truck. Nothing lasts!

Wayne

 

Well that sux! If you find or know of someone that makes a decent one let me know.

 

I would be interested in your findings as well.

 

time to straight axle it!

 

yep yep yep.

i think yall will eventually find that with stronger OUTER steering components the inner steering will start to fail. Like the steering box itself... they are not that strong.

ive went though a steering box AND 3 power steering pumps.

Do yall have steering stabalizers? that will help keep your tie-rods together.

and also when my truck was IFS i had more problems with the MOOG ball joints/ tie rods then i did with the fatory sealed units.

 

I've got a steering stabalizer for all the good it does.

 

the fabtech steering stabilizer made a difference for me running 35's. I would not run 37's-38's w/o it.

 

X2 Let's get it done Wayne!!!!!

 

I will sell the truck before going SAS unless i win the lotto. I wanna stop dropping thousands and thousands into the truck. I'd rather get a new project. I do have a steering stabilizer. I will let you know when i find out some more info.

BTW, Bert send me that damn email!!!!

I've got the same problem with my military tires...The things are so damn heavy they just tear my IFS apart... SAS TIME SOON!!

 

ive got to take this when i can...

TOLD YOU SO
