Gognito upper control arm drop stop spacing
 
3 Attachment(s)
I upgraded to cognito upper control arms and shocks my t bars were already cranked up after the install the truck sits higher and I'm worried about hitting the drop stop now and one of the bolts on the torsion bars is snapped off so any idea how to fix that if I need to readjust? Truck sit level now like 41 1/4 rear 40 1/2 front

looks like you have some cutting to do. take a look at limit straps

that's got to be hard on the ball joints being cranked that much. how's the CV joint angle?

They are kinda steep but I've seen worst I'm hoping to order limit straps Friday and maybe try to repair the broken bolt and let it down half inch :argh: then I'll have to trim for the tires :ouch:

if i remember right i have similar ride height as you on my 04 and i dont have that little room on the upper control arm stops. something is funny here. what size tires do you have. that may be why our ride height is similar????

285/75R16 Toyo open country MTs like 33.1 tall

I just checked mine and sure enough mine looks just like yours. I have 33's also but dont recall ever having any issues

your truck is cranked up to? im kinda worried about the CVs so i might save up for a 4.5" BDS lift and leave it turned down

2004LB7 06-12-2015 12:59 PM

yes, but.... my 04 black truck that i was comparing to yours is 2wd. my 08 that is 4wd is only mildly cranked. I too am looking at getting a lift that will allow me to lower the torsion bars and level out the CV joints and still leave me with about a 4" lift. i am thinking a 6" should do this. not sure what brand i will go with but i am set on a non torsion bar drop. i want to keep everything tucked up inside

Walker.B 06-16-2015 08:00 PM

would a 4.5" do it or do you think a 6" is needed? i dont want to be so high my new 33"s look to small
