Need help fast!
Ok I bought my truck 4 months ago, she is beautiful, and I love her. BUT, I have spent endless money since then. I have put upper control arms, lower ball joints, breaks all the way around, shocks all the way around, sway bar links, 02 sensors, plugs/wires, new tires (today), and now tomorrow Im having an inner tie rod end, and my pitman and idler arm. I know I bought a used truck, but I have about 4 thousand more in this truck now than what it is worth and now Im just looking to save suspension components for the long haul. Right now it has add-a-leaf in rear with torsion keys in front. I effin hate the torsion keys, whoever made them or started doing these lifts is a very rich man. The angle on my ball joints and cv's is terrible! I want to get rid of this terrible back aching ride in the front and get the same life without my torsion keys. Only problem is, I need something TOMORROW because thats when everything else is getting done. The CV boots are torn..I cant afford 500 to buy them and have them put in and a second alignment so I was told id be fine If I keep them packed with grease, plus at this angle it doesn't look like it would matter if I replaced them they would go bad in a week! Someone please help me find a lift for the front that isnt torsion keys that will match the rear of my truck. Ill try to put a picture up to give you an idea! But pic will be with old tires.[IMG][IMG=http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9376/img00306.jpg][/IMG][/IMG]
Nice truck. All of the components you replaced are in fact high wear items on our trucks. If you are having the inner tie rod ends replaced, you can bet the outter tie rod ends either need replacing or will shortly so I'd go ahead and do it.
Unfortunately, you found out first hand the problem with aftermarket torsion bar keys. Just back off the preload on the torsion bars untill the ball joint angles and CV joints look better. If the front is too low after this, remove the AAL. For an inexpensive lift, I'd suggest the 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift.
