Hey code doesn't the track bar bracket touch the coil bucket if the tack bar is adjusted too far out? Over 39.25"? I was under impression too short would
Just give you worse bump steer.

It looks like the front is settling. I'll give it a few days. I'll get under it and check the coil bucket on Saturday.

Since I dont tow, I'll wait on the Thuren shackles and see how this goes.

Like I said can't really go wrong. Greasable shackle with a heavy duty poly bushing that's over built. Thuren is best :) I like mine I did notice a small ride improvement as well.

Hmmm have to think through the math on this, but I know that my stock (39") track-bar hit the coil bucket and my Carli track-bar at 39 1/8" didn't. There may be other steering geometry measurements in play here but I know that Carli recommends with their 3" systems track-bar adjusted to 39 1/8" and it works fine for me.

Ya 39 1/8" is Deffinately right I was told if you go over that measurement is when the track bar bracket hits the coil bucket. Makes sense when the axle swings up it's swings over towards the passenger side causing contact I'm under the impression the shorter the track bar the less you'll "hit" but you will have a large amount of bump steer under 39"!

I'll definitely have to make sure it's 39.125".


Thanks.
