3 inch Teraflex installed
Hey all
I will have pictures tomorrow when I finish everthing up. I put in a full day and got to everything but the front track bar and sway bar end links. Man am I in for a world of back pain tomorrow - I can feel it already!
I took awhile and played around with control arm lengths. I am in the ball park with what others have posted. In preparation for the new rear driveshaft, I did go ahead and even out the rear pinion angle. I had to lengthen the rear uppers quite a bit and was concerned about the remaining threads inside the arm, but from antiseizing a few days ago, them think there should be plenty left. I ended up between 6 - 7 degrees for front castor.
I will also post all the other little details that I ran into tomorrow along with ground to fender measurements.
If anyone is wondering if 3 inchs with 35's is going to be tall enough, trust me, its tall!

Finished up after another long day. This time I was at it off and on in between other Sunday activities. I took it out for a test drive and other than the slight rumble from the Procomp XMT it drives straight and vibration free. I did have to tweak the steering wheel twice to get it level. As a one man job it makes for a big project. I could have used a few extra hands more than once.
One minor point - I set the driveshaft angle even with the pinion. After I dropped it on the wheel, I checked the angle again and found that it had migrated 2 degrees up ^. It looks straight to the eye though. I will probably pull back the rear uppers next weekend to level it out.
I made a few mistakes that were easily corrected - mostly due to being tired. My wife came out a few times and just shook her head. She likes it though!
