Hey thanks a lot, and that sounds good to me!! It may take a little while to adjust my track bar and fix the steering seems how i am in college and my tools are back home, but i will keep you guys posted.

As far as my buddy goes. (in the blue ford) ya he is an idiot.... he almost hit me like 4 times......

Yes i agree i believe its a shock problem, or shock bushing prob. Its a very fast vibration compared to your tire speed. "Axle wrap" is usualy proportional to tire speed. Usualy.....
Let us know if you find out what was causing it please!!!

I wish we could get enough snow this year i could go play in the snow!!!
We got a couple inches today, but it'll be gone by tomorow.

So it was the stud bushings on the shocks. It doesn't hop at all now!!

I still haven't had time to fix the steering problem yet. But I will soon, and i will put more pictures on.

So I got rid of the old steering linkage and upgraded to the 3/4 heim joints and 1&1/4 tubing. A lot stronger!!!
I still have to upgrade my track bar tho.
Here are some pictures!! You can compare my old linkage to the new stuff based on the original track bar!!

compare those with this!!!!!

Your axle looks funny to me. Did you narrow it? It looks narrow but not as narrow as the one I am building (6" more narrow than before).

Steering looks good

 

[FordRanger89]

Ya, I narrowed it 5"

 

[legoms013]

Any particular reason you went with 5"? Just curious that's all.

 

[FordRanger89]

um no specific reason. Someone told me narrowing it 6" would make it the same width as the dana 35 and I wanted it a little wider. Did you send your axle shaft to dutchmen?

In essence yes. I bought one from a guy who sent them his stocker then sold it to me. So no it is basically an EB 5-760x U-joint passeger shaft.

Your wheels look tall and narrow, just like I like em, what size is your tire/wheel combo?

Looks good, glad to hear you got the problem fixed. You new parts should work out a lot better now.
