ok...im going to do the shakle lift this weekend...im fabing my own shakles...but im wanting to know...how high you can go with a t bar crank...and with a full out crank...will it hurt nething..like meaning...cranking them all the way.... and maybe a little more help here on a PML???? all help is needed...thanks....
With the factory control arms, you shouldn't go above 1.5" otherwise you will not be able to get a true alignment. Rule of thumb is 1/2" gap on the bumpstops will come out to being a 1.5" lift.
Any higher and you will rest on the bumpstops of the control arms. It will also put the CV axles at an increased angle which could create a lot of binding in turns. Aftermarket UCA's are longer and allow for factory alignment specs and still keeping the axles at a close to stock angle from t-case to wheel.
ohh ok..well do you got any info on the pml to help me get a lil more lift? you can txt my cell phone if it makes it ezer for you..... ill send you a message with it
It's harder to text....but, there's threads here that give detailed instructions...including step by step pictures, etc.
I think you should search for t-bar adjustment and reindexing, and shackle installation.
I assume if you are mechanically inclined enough to make your own shackles....this project should be easy.
On the X, the stock shackles are 3" eye to eye.....so, to get 1.5" of rear lift....the new shackles need to be 6" instead. (1" more shackle length gives 1/2" more lift, etc...)
