Thanks, guys I really liked how the bumper came out. I had to tell him a few things to change, but it really is what I was looking for: a lighter TrailReady style that ties into the engine cage.
Got the steering issue fixed too. It rides about like my 6" lift and 33's used to... although the steering pump is whining pretty bad.
Here are some pics I just took...
As you can see, the under-engine cross-member is directly in line with the track bar mount.
Passenger side shock hoop area (not a great shot because there's so much crap packed in there).
Driver's side shock hoop area. The engine cage and bumber are flanged so they can come off.
Driver's side coilover.
This is how we fixed the steering wheel's 1/4 turn dead spot: we put some thick rubber washers with metal centers on the bushings at each side of the tie rod. I heard about this on the
forums, someone said people will slice sections of the RE track bar bushings to do this for 1 Ton steering setups. It fixed my issue:
Let me know if you have any more questions or want more pics. I can get higher quality pics too if you're interested.
Any thoughts on the spring/shock/bump rates? I could really use some expert advice... thanks!
