Well my passenger side tire has been rubbing in the fender well pretty hardcore when I have a passenger in the truck lately..pulled the wheel off to try beating it in for a little clearance and found this..
So looks like I'm gonna have to buy some new shocks for the front

Yea I don't think this is gonna break the bank where I can't order..plan is to order mine tomorrow or Wednesday
Those have to be under warranty for manufacturer defect considering the weld for the shock tab broke off? I need to watch my shocks cause I ride mine hard but they can only move a inch or two :cheeky: do want esky shifter tho....

Well my morning has been a little fucked..
Got on a shitty road and ended up not seeing/hitting this
Which caused this
Yes that's the fender sitting on the tire..got to looking a little more and saw this
Frame laying on the ground
Sat at this random ass house for a couple of hours before I was able to limp it to a nearby restaurant with a big parking lot

Turns out I busted my passenger upper balljoint..after going to a few places I finally got a moog balljoint ordered which will be here tomorrow
The only thing good about today
Got my calspeeds in..everything looked pretty good except
Everything fits good though, can't wait to get them on the truck

Busted my upper balljoint, causing everything to kinda sit down on top of each other
Tired of dealing with so many problems being such low static 4wd, so I'm gonna get some stock spindles and pull the blocks and go back up to 4/7
My headers came the same way but not THAT bad like yours. Got some pliers and made it rounder so it went in
Yea I didn't bother straightening them out yet since I had to go to work but I will once I get ready to out them on
Damn that sucks dude. Still gonna look good at 4/7 tho. Your LTs actually look better than mine did when they came in. Have fun getting them to fit with the front D/S :bishplz:
Oh I didn't modify, I took out the DS with the intent to modify the Y a little later, then traded the truck in like that :rofl: My driver's collector sat RIGHT where the DS goes into the front diff. Like, halfway overlapping the flange if you look from the back. Would've had to either beat in the collector and damn near close off one primary tube or take header off and modify the flange to get it to rotate toward the frame more.
Hang on a sec, I'll find some pics to let you see

Forgot to mention, driver's header also needs to be clearanced for the steering shaft. Just the front primary tube
Actually needed to do a little more, it was still rubbing the steering shaft pretty bad
Here's the collector. You can see the whole collector/couple of primary tubes are entirely in the way. Actually the flange where the DS bolts to the diff was hitting that primary tube, that's how far toward the center of the truck it was
