Looks good, I like the way 19.5's look, they look mean

nummit · 09-16-2006, 10:28 AM

Looks good

jkretzer · 09-16-2006, 10:33 AM

how do you like the cross over steering, i am thinking about doing that next. how long did it take you to install?

Signature600 · 09-16-2006, 11:41 AM

Probably 2-2.5hrs. If I had pulled the pitman arm, it would have taken about a half hour less. Drilling it was a pain. Actually, I installed the Tracbar in that time too, so...1.5 hrs!

Other than that, it's bolt on.

Chris

Oh Yeah...so far, I really like the steering. Tight, makes the rest of the system suck, not you can feel any loose part, every bump in the road. And servicing it should be a breeze!

i put on his track bar 2 weeks ago and love it, i have replaced in the past 2 months both outter tie rod ends (driver and pass side) but did it with lifetime warrenty parts until i can figure out if i want to drop the cash on dons cross over kit.

joefarmer · 09-17-2006, 02:01 PM

It looks slow.

I liked the crossover steering. I don't think it would work with my stock alloys though. They must have 6" of backspacing.

Looks good! Not so much of a fan of the chrome fender lips though...

Not only does it looks slow....it is

It would be close...they cleared my stock chromies, but not by much! I think the Alloys have more backspace though!

On the chrome fender stuff...it was on there when I bought the truck, and when I took it off you could see where it had been. So I put new back on. I don't think it looks too bad, but I don't want anymore ( or very little) chrome

I think it looks to good to be a farm truck. I registered my 4-wheeler under farm use (14$ oh, yeah) to chase the dumb cows down.

Signature600 · 09-19-2006, 08:16 AM

Oh Yeah, forgot about the Texas Farm Tags...It actually a Ohio Commercial Truck now

The Texas tags are decorating my Bar at the house

I like the paint scheme on it. Ought to make a good farm hauler. Now get some stacks.

Signature600 · 09-20-2006, 07:23 AM

Sorry, no stacks. Don't fit the look
