Suspension Question on 98 ex

[trj360]

One other thing my Ex has the auto 4x4 option which is great but I dont know if thats a good idea with a locker. Is there a way to bypass that or am I just screwed?

brown wire mod. and no the locker is not hard to install but can be very confusing if you dont have help.

This is EASY, but here's my disclaimer "You've already increased your ride height and are modifying from original equipment, so in driving on a regular basis do at your risk and practice and/or learn on & off-road characteristics at slow speeds, increasing gradually."- That much said, get the heck rid of the rear sway bar and links. Then drive at least a month feeling the difference of body sway on/off-road. Next, increase torsion bar twist to maximize usable tension in your suspension; this will stiffen your front ride and you can offset some torsion twisting by using a coilover HD front shock and if you want to go to it put a high angle CV axle in there where you can drive the thing with constant "up-angle" from wheel to tranny.
