positive camber get it right wanna be fabricator... and they dont positive that bad.. Tires arent getting chewed up so i dont care.

Its cause they are a inch shorter... so need shorter uppers...

JMew03 · 07-27-2008, 11:29 PM

positive camber just means you have to ride lower to make it go away

Redd · 07-27-2008, 11:35 PM

lol yep!!!!!!

But today(sunday) didnt touch the truck. Just went and bought some tools and such. Bought a new poster for the garage that I found at Northern tool!

Redd · 07-27-2008, 11:53 PM

any tricks or just cut the ****er out

2000xcabhooptie · 07-27-2008, 11:57 PM

Big_Bake · 07-27-2008, 11:57 PM

Quote: Originally Posted by Redd

get a little propane torch and heat the plate on the bottom where the bolt goes through. that and some liquid wrench did the trick. of course i cut and drilled one out before my stepdad came home and showed me that.

Xtreme24 · 07-28-2008, 12:01 AM

bolt penetrator and torch..............however, mine just came out with a torx wrench.

Big_Bake · 07-28-2008, 12:54 AM

oh and that poster is sweet. i was at northern yesterday looking at them. i'm so happy they sell trailer fenders there too.

Are you gonna put the QA1's on?

Xtreme24 · 07-28-2008, 12:56 AM

tractor supply is cheaper for trailer fenders, I got both of my front ones (32x9) for $45.

Hell yeah dude! I was trying to find the extended/compressed dimensions of a Nissan hardbody shock for the front, but I got too lazy. How are you planning on mounting them in the front?

And are you keeping the SD kit for the rear?

Redd · 07-28-2008, 01:04 AM

qa1 makes just shocks and coil overs, i had just the shocks.. I had the 12 way adjustables on my Lightning. I have the front ones sitting in the tool box. Just need to be rebuilt but will work just fine. I already mounted one up awhile back.

why would i cut all the SD shit out in the back ?

I was under the impression that they were coilover shocks like these:

Pic doesn't have spring installed.

Redd · 07-28-2008, 01:12 AM
