    Thuren front sway bar, Carli adj front track bar, Thuren rear track bar= phase I for my suspension solution...

    There are peeps who have issues with axle geometry with the simple leveling kit up front... Carli recommends the radius arm drops to help geometry and to prevent the spring from "clocking" I think this is the appearance the springs are not linear and look like they're bending... Price keeps climbing

    I have been pricing the Thuren front springs and fix shocks... I realize Carli shocks are tuned as are synergy... Weighing my options and my wallet

    Thuren front sway bar, Carli adj front track bar, Thuren rear track bar= phase I for my suspension solution...

    All has improved.... Researching if I need new springs for a better spring rate....but over all there is improvement.... 45/40 PSI in the tires when empty... No more rear wagging or lurching over bumps... The Carli suspension website has a nice write up about tires and wheels and psi...it is...

    Crusty's 75th Annv PW #1590 build/mods adventure

    I gave away the '96 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 7.2L engine this summer to my nephew.... All the plugs are right there and the engine bay looks empty in comparison to these new rigs.... Good luck sir....on my Xterra I removed the intake plenum for the hard to reach coil packs... Have not...

    Windshield washer sprayer hose disconnected

    Regarding the auto disconnect feature of the spray hose for the windshield (not to be confused with the sway bar disconnect)....I have searched and found peeps on YT doing some simple fixes with zip ties to increase the tension around the connections.... I suppose I can go along and put one on...

    Just want a better ride

    I agree with this post... Start with knowing your unloaded weight per axle and adjust tire pressures based on load... I did the rear track bar and that helped to stop the lateral lurching you get going over rough terrain... After that it has to do with your willingness to change the spring rate...

    Melling high volume oil pump?

    I watched a vid on YT and I will post it below... He recommended placing the other spring in prior to install for OE pressure...

    Melling high volume oil pump?

    Has anyone used the Melling high volume oil pump... The idea is to potentially avoid the oil starvation and Hemi Tick from idling.... My truck doesn't idle except at stop lights... So I don't know if it is a great idea or not.... I plan to use the best oil and the recommended oil changes.... Any...

    Thuren front sway bar, Carli adj front track bar, Thuren rear track bar= phase I for my suspension solution...

    First drive after the install of said parts in the title... Noticeable difference in the back end not lurching to the passenger side.... So thumbs up for the rear track bar.... I may take the ♈ out tomorrow for forest roads and rough rocky forest road/ green trails (easiest trails in WA)... This...

    Thuren front sway bar, Carli adj front track bar, Thuren rear track bar= phase I for my suspension solution...

    Hmmm...ok...well.... I think I will go ahead with the rear track bar install and the front sway bar install and hold the adjustable front track bar until I have further info... "Better" ride can mean different things for different contexts.... So I need more input from you all and talk with CJC...

    Skid Plates

    Very true.... I have aluminum skids on my Xterra.... And there will be no re shaping those ... I have seen "skids" that are a flimsy thinner steel and peeps re bend those back into shape.... I think of those as "indicators" ... The more scars on the flimsy stuff indicates you need beefy stuff...
