you will LOVE the pacesetters...guaranteed

 

I sent them the money the other day, so however long it takes to ship them. I'm not so much worried about the t-bars on my truck, I'm worried about the compression struts that are bolted to the tranny crossmember.

 

What are you calling the compression struts? I looked under my truck and I dont see what you could be calling that. Also are my A-arms suppose to be sitting on the bump stops when its on level ground I noticed that while i was looking under the truck? Also do anyone think that the length of the pacesetters will push the cats too far back to where the exhaust wont be able to make the bend before the transmission crossmember. I have true duals not a y-pipe so this is a little bit of an issue.

 

I have a 10" lift kit on my truck, which is why my front driveshaft or t-bars will be in the way, they are 10" lower than stock. The compression struts are part of the lift, they connect the rear crossmember to the tranny crossmember. I had the truck on the lift and from the measurments I read about, they come about 8" from the front of the trans crossmember. I plan on getting dual e-cutouts, highflow cats and all new piping made, but I think I might have to run the piping under the trans support instead of through it like the stock is. Heres a pic of my setup........

There you can see the struts bolted to the trans crossmember, and to the right the stock exhaust running over the trans support.

 

Also, your a-arms should not be sitting on the bumpstops, try cranking your t-bars a little bit

 

They havent ever been messed with to my knowledge I guess it is just old age and my driving habits offroad . Anybody know how much they bumpstops should be off the a-arm. By the way sweet ride 2000sierra wish I had the $$$ to get that on my truck.

Thanks, Cody

 

Guess not

 

They may not have been messed with, my bars started to sag after the years. Here is a link to alot of info. about t-bars.
