Thanks... That helps!

Question- How close are your radius arm mounts to the trans crossmember? Is your front axle pushed forward any or is it mostly in the stock location? Im seriously considering ditching my home-made arms and getting those to get my turning radius back... but my front is 3" forward and i want to...

No problem! We had a good time. Bunch of jeep people out there so I had to show them the Ford stuff.

We're going to be there saturday and part of sunday. Rough guesstimate we should be there by 10am sat. morning. Look for a black jeep and the worlds ugliest OD green explorer. :laugh:

Im still going to be there, along with sureshot40sw and his LJ

You need balljoints. If you want to know how bad it is, place a jack under the lower control arm and get the tire an inch or two off the ground. Grab the tire at the top and bottom and try to rock the wheel. If there's movement- they're really toast. Clunk going over a speedbump + your pics = im...

The tube spinning in the center chunk wont really change the alignment. 1- its a very tight press fit, 2- there's quite a bit of engagement... the tube is "all up in there" so far that it physically cant move... uh... radially? wobbly? (hard to describe, yall know i dont english two good)...

90% sure im still going.

Mine is the same size Dom, but looks more like Jack Nicholson smiling. Still drives great at highway speeds, so I just leave it be. :D

I dont even know what any of that is but holy **** it looks good.

Rust fix looks damn good. Spun tube... man as cheap as EX 8.8's are in the junkyard, i would be tempted to go buy a "new" one, swap all my stuff into it, weld the tubes (WELD THE DAMN TUBES!!!) then use the old one as a paper weight. With that said, this is how i fixed a buddys heep...

Press hell... i use the winch and a snatch block with a couple of tree savers. Close enough. :D

I have to work that weekend. :mad: Soooo, I put in for vacation about 5 minutes ago. I'll be there. :D

Ahhh okay- makes sense. I was having trouble picturing it in my head.

I think some decent shocks would do you some good. What was the reason you couldnt move the front axle more forward? Aftermarket coil buckets hit the steering box or something?
