Ok guys, I just put on the 3 inch add a leafs, and bilstein 5100's all around. The rear end of my truck is as stiff as hell which i love, but my front end is horribly wobbly. I will stop the car and i will rock back and forth at least 5 or 6 times. its pretty bad. Could it be that i didnt re-index my t-bars? I just cranked them up as high as they would go in range of the bump stops. am i over-doing the springs in that? help! I cant imagine that my front bilsteins blew out this early. i havent looked at them yet.

How much room? You should really get new UCA's Using the stock UCA's with 3" of lift in the back will mess up the front tires wear. You might think there is room for the bumpstops but you are probably riding on them.

yo yo, so i checked it out this morning and the nut that held the front shock in place was missing, bushings too. so my car was basically just riding on the torsion bars since the shock couldnt compress. so i went to the hardware store and got some replacements and now it rides amazing once again.
oh and i really do plan on getting the new uca's. just gotta wait for my next paycheck. thanks for the input!

as a rule of thumb, whenever you change suspension, steering, etc, parts you should check your connections everytime you get in the truck to drive for the next few days
for example, what if that had been a ball joint that came loose bc you UCAs and didnt check them, imagine the shit storm and potential death that would occur if you lost that bj at speed on a freeway

once again your X is a 2nd gen and his is the 1st..... now in this case it is similar but the two look totally different do to the changes in the body work.....
