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?
Just wondering TBJ, have you lengthened the back shocks the 3 turns many are talking about? That might be something to think about and try if you haven't. Sway bars should help and lowering the roll center will help too. (So remember, those who may be reading since I'm pretty sure TBJ knows this, one change at a time...LOL)
Now, since I'm anal about my shock length (it's an On-Road thing) does anyone who has lengthened their rear shocks by this "three turns out" have an overall length in mm of their rear shocks (measured at full extension from the very top of the shock to the very bottom...not eye to eye)?
