Roadbully Lift Problem Solving

[xplorerguru]

Here are changes that people brought up and were used before to fix problems, just some background history of the spacer desgin:

1. Remember when they were painted, it took longer so he powdercoats everyting now eliminating all the time needed to paint and dry between coats.

2. Thanks to the frist costumer noticng that the 3inch lift on the back made the axle rub, Ben changed the size to 2.5 max in rear

3. Remember when it was a pain to install cause it was hard to line the holes up for the bolts, well he now welds bolts in place.

4. Ben used to include regular bolts but because of disscussion he uses grade 8's now.

5. After noticing the 3inch spacer might be a little too much, the size was limited to a max of 2.5

6. The newest change is the he includes very detailed instructions

NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ​

OK lets start the solving, I believe that the 4wd's are heavier and in the end run have a different spring wieght and can run a bigger lift. And a 2wd has a different spring wieght and lighter than the 4x4 version.

So here is my solution/opinion, please chime in!

4wd limit size to 2.5

2wd limit size to 2inches

Lets Begin!!!

Another one of my ideas is to have a swaybar link that matches the lift. What i mean is if your adding a 2inch spacer than have a sway bar link 2 inches longer. Maybe we can find a way to do this and have ben include it in his kit. Off course the prrice would go up

It only makes sense to me to have this done

Keep in mind, part of fixing problems involves bashing. The bashing identifies the need--understand?

You must first identify a problem, then collect data to support it. The next step is to identify possible solutions. As long as we don't take this as a personal attack,ever, we can work together for a solution. I am confident the issues can be resolved.

Also remember, while brainstorming there is no such thing as a "stupid" suggestion. Sometimes the stupidest suggestion , will be built on to result in the best solution.

So I have 2.5 front and 2" rear on the way for my 2wd, what issues will I run into?

There are multiple other threads that discuss potential issues. I believe the OP wants this thread to be used to brainstorm solutions, not answer questions that have already been answered.

Thanks for stating that, this post is for "problem solving" but answering your question. Ride is stiffer and possible premature ball joint wear. Also be sure to get a wheel alignment.

i think the only way to fix the issue is new upper arms or make a bracket the moves the stock upper arm down on the frame. my second idea i don't really like but i figured iwould throw it out there for other ppl to add or modify it
