Show Off Your Lifted Sport Trac!!!

[naminad]

Hey guys need help and btw nice trucks so far!
Well my question and concern is what is causing my sport trac to squeak every time and only when i reverse out from a driveway or etc?

I have a 4.o engine and i cannot figure out the problem, could it be bad u-joints? I mean brakes are fine cause when i step on them it doesnt stop the squeak!


Please help

Hey brussell. Was wondering what you used to get your wheels dark like that. I also like the darker side. That looks pretty cool. I thought about plasti-dipping my wheels but don't want black was thinking of a charcoal color

I used Rust-oleum' peel coat (their version of plasti-dip). The color is Graphite and it has some metal flake in it, but not too much. I used the same paint on my grill, then it's put several layers of clear coat over it. So far so good. The bugs haven't been able to chip it yet.

I have the Truxx lift and downsized to P265/60-R18 Nitto NT421Q on 8.5" rims (from 265/65 AT Defenders). Just got the extended upper control arms and new tires on Friday. Headlights went in week before. Neutral tow correctly tested today! Next is front rotors and pads, maybe calipers too. Summer or fall will do the deep sump trans pan and electric radiator fan.

Hey, just wondering what you used to darken your grille? was that an iron man grille or did you paint it somehow? thanks, Aaron

It's an original New Old Stock grill purchased on ebay, Original gloss black paint, brand new.

So I was looking to change up my STA. Went back and forth for about a year on lifting it or not. So glad I did, I went from lowered to lifted on 32s

Great looking rig. What lift did you use? Did you get extended control arms? Any rubbing or excessive/premature wear on wheel bearing or ball joints?

Finally got my new tires just this last Friday so I can be proud of the truck again lol. so happy to get rid of those P.O.S. Korean Nexem tires. Replaces them with 275-70-18 Cooper STD Pro M/It's. definitely had to do some trimming, and 2" wheel spacers should be coming in the mail soon. I'll update with some better pictures after I get the spacer on.
