I lowered the front of my truck today and now when I turn right, the end of the Relay Rod hits the passenger side Strut Bar. I now have about a third of the turning radius for right hand turns. Is there a way around this or do I just need to lift the front back up a couple inches? Here is a picture of the problem:







thanks for your help!

 

I guess I need to put a later model suspension on...

 

For some reason, this totally does not look right. I had a 3" drop on my truck many, many, many years ago and everything cleared. How much of a drop to you have on it?

just measured, about 4 1/2 inches

 

a ball joint flip would fix this, but I can't do that on this older style suspension. I better go to the junkyards looking for a 84-88

 

Mine just wore a grove in the bar so all G lol I have no bump stops or springs on my 80

 

haha. i ended up just raising it up one notch until i can get a different suspension and do the usual bj flip and drop spindle mods.

 

any pics of the truck?

 

ya, I will put together a build thread soon enough... just been busy/lazy lately

 

the truck is from maui, you may have seen it before

 

Oh wow small world ah
