Questions after lift help??

[michowski]

Do you have any idea's were I can get new bumpstops? Mine were so corroded and just crap I didnt put em back on. They would of most likely collapsed if I took it offroad and the housing hit the stops. Were can I purchase those adjustable bushings also?

Also I had an idea but i would appreciate some opinions. I was gonna get the skyjacker softride 6" lift coil springs and put em on my truck to level it off instead of the spacer. I know id have to probly cut a coil or 2 off to get em dialed in and im fine with that. Are those springs any good. I want a nice flexible ride offroad and was wondering if those springs were good. Also debating about getting those leafs also.

If your truck is a Supercab, there's no need to cut a coil off, the 6" SJ coils are good for about 4.5" lift on V6 SC trucks.

Rockauto.com has both the Moog #K8986 and Spicer 6122025 bushings. Both are 2-pc adjustable (you can try any local 4WD or suspension shop, possibly NAPA has such bushings too).

As for bumpstops, those are easy. Dealer, or almost any autoparts store should have something (also, junkyards). You'll probably have to make extensions for them though if your liftkit didn't come with them (or buy some from another susp. co.).

would this work from sj http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SJA-1039H&N=700+115&autoview=sku ? Thats for my truck so that should be all I need to adjust camber/caster then correct?

Also I want some more flex out of my rear end. I got the superlift leafs and it has no give at all. How would the superflex leafs from skyjacker compare?

No get the ones he told you to. Those ones are pricey but like I said and like junkie said the 2 piece ones have the most adjustability.

Note - most of the things i know (and many others) is from junkie so its a good idea to listen to him

I talked to a shop that can align everything and they said they can take of the camber, caster, toe angle. They will do the works for 100 bucks. I think il purchase those softride springs and get the extreme drop pitman arm and then go take it to them to give it a good alignment.

Yeah, those are not 2-piece bushings (I posted a link above to the correct ones, they were even cheaper, too).

Make sure the alignment place uses 2-piece bushings (or get them yourself and take them to them). If you should ever change or modify something on the frontend requiring a realignment, you won't have to change out the bushings with new ones each time.

Sounds good man, thanks for the advice.

I don't mean to hi-jack, but are the bushings the same for the D35 as the D28? I already have some for my D28 and am upgrading....Thanks.

No. D28 and D35 use different camber bushings. D28 are unique ( as far as I know ) while the D35 are the same as D44 TTB and some straight axles as well.

Ok, looks like I'll have to buy another set. Thanks.

No, all 3 are unique.

The D44 uses a different style adjuster

 

[Bent Bolt]

Then the ranger TIB is the same as the D44 ?? I know there is a compatible adjuster between the vehicles..........

Yep, just found it... the D35 adjuster also fits 2WD F-series.

K well im gonna get the skyjacker 6" coils up front and right now im debating about getting the superunner steering setup or the skyjacker extreme drop pitman arm. One thing I did notice after reading the install instructions for the superunner is that the rods are still not parrallel to the ground. They have about the same pitch up as mine now. Im willing to spend a little more money and get the superunner but I wanna make sure its gonna be worth the extra money tho. Any thoughts?
