Good news, bad news...
Good news:
The front swaybar is in, and fairly painlessly. Just had to do some
"customizing" of the endlink spacers, and had to figure out the whole
bracket situation, but luckily the holes in the frame are threaded, so
relatively painless. Red loctite on all bolts for the main bracketry,
and grade 8 holding things to the frame. The difference is amazing. It
rolls over just a bit, and it's so nice going 'round the corners. Just
need to get a set of new shocks on there and it will be AWESOME.
Speaking of shocks, Mr. Battles, how are those Reflexes that you put on
your truck??
Bad news:
Significant rub on the swabar @ full lock. I'm probably going to be
going to the AR-767 wheels soon-ish, which have less backspacing I'm
told, and it should straighten out the sidewalls significantly. At
least steel vs. rubber, steel generally wins.
More Bad news:
The rear bar is going to be VERY difficult to attach. The park brake
cable brackets are basically right beside where the endlinks need to go,
and it's generally a bitch. I will hopefully be able to get things
together next weekend and get that in.
BUT I'M SO HAPPY WITH THE FRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!! (just for good measure)
