Got it all finished last weekend. Has the JBA rear springs without any extra isos. The OME 926s in front with the JBA top plate and no clevis. Sitting at 21.25" all the way around. Much better than 17.5" that I was at. Ride feels great too, and sticks to the gravel roads where my rear used to get a little loosy-goosy. Feels like I could do some dirt track racing in it.
Took an extra week cause I had to get the JBA 4.5 upper arms cause my stock upper ball joint boots were toast, plus I probably should have gotten them to begin with. Replaced all the lower bushings and sway bar bushings and such while I was at it. BTW bushing removal *****!!
Had it aligned twice. The first pic with all the green is from the second alignment. The first time it was pulling to the right and felt wobbly. The second feels better, but still not quite right to me. Good enough I think I can wait till it breaks in a little before I go back. Unless yall see something in the alignment sheets that says I should.

Looks good, tex!

Couldn't get the toe more than close on my first alignment, but in about 400 miles I'm going to a pro shop that does nothing but alignments...hopefully they can dial it in..,,

Somewhere between being sane and insane!

The 2nd(1st pic) alignment is damn near perfect,not going to get any better and almost dead on anyways with nothing to cause a pull or wonder.


You may not be used to driving a lifted vehicle,higher center of gravity.

Thanks. Yours is looking pretty good yourself. What are those crossbars? Is there a thread for those somewhere?

Thanks, good to know. I was kinda wondering if I was just hypersensitive to how it feels.

That is good. Mine still drifts to the right, even on the freeway. Getting edge wear on my front right tire.
