The ballstuds you guys are spacing up...couldn't find it with a search of the thread, so please direct ThunderbirdJunkie to the answer if it has been covered...is it the front or rear?
The rear inside tire seems to lift first, so ThunderbirdJunkie is currently stuffing 6mm of spacers under the front inner ballstuds and 3mm in the rear. Does this seem reasonable? The inner ballstuds also seem to be disagreeing with this 6mm spacing, and ThunderbirdJunkie needs a ballstud with longer thread...is this available? Do you think 3mm on both ends will suffice?
Got the front swaybar set today....going to install that too.
Farmer John has found that taking Associated's desired roll center and lowering it evenly on both ends has produced the best results...for Farmer John. Remember, the lower the roll center, the more resistant the chassis will be to roll...
Farmer John tried to numb the front end further with more spacers, but for Farmer John it just unbalanced the truck and made it's handling worse than if Farmer John had just left it be.
