I dont think the 2wd has torsion bars, but if it does, then yes it will work.

 

nope mine doesn't lol

 

Dude, I am watching this thread LIKE A HAWK!!! Keep up the excellent R&D updates. As soon as you find a combination of upper bushings that works on the stud top mounts then I'm totally gonna run that on my setup. I'm dying to do this mod, but I don't want to have to run the adapters up front and lose any height from my drop.

 

You may could run the DJM LCAs and reinforce the shock area and just use my uppers with the procomp adapter. I think the DJM part is a 2" drop and procomp bracket is 1.5", so a net 0.5" drop.

 

I just brought home a 2006 2WD CrewCab that was wrecked with the intent on parting it out. That truck is setup as a low-rider truck and it has the DJM LCA's on it.

I am about a month out from being able to take it apart, (I have a BMW in the garage at the moment that is taking up the stall it's coming apart in).

Does anyone know for sure if the 2WD arms will bolt to the 4WD frame? I'm assuming they would but there is enough difference between the front ends that its cause for concern.

I'll be happy to share what I know but right now I can't take apart the 2WD until this BMW ragtop is out of the garage.

 

At the very least the shock mount is wrong, but I kind of doubt they are interchangable due to the 2wd spring pocket and 4wd cv shaft.

 

I'm running McG 2" drop spindles.

 

I bought a rod of 4340 steel off of eBay for around 8.00. I want to make a wider base for the polyeurathane.



I had to cut it very slowly.



Here's what I'm thinking.



Only problem, it's near impossible for me to cut a square piece off. Ironically, that may be to my advantage since the bushing is compressed at an angle.



That's all I have for now. Hopefully I can support those bushings a little better. Right now I'm hesitant to drive it. Once I get these in, I'll start putting some miles on, and see if that polyeurathane is resilient enough to take daily driver abuse. Also, I'm going to go check out a set of 17" wheels/tires tomorrow. The tires are a bit warn wich is perfect timing actually. I'll be able to mess around with the Coilovers and not care about the alignment.


Here's a link to what I bought.

I went and picked up a set of tires/wheels today. I've been looking for a deal on a set for quite a while.

I'm not too picky about which wheels they are, but that have to be 17" to clear my spindles and 05+ brakes. I'm not going to be convinced that they'll clear until I actually get them bolted up.

These came off of a 2002 Tahoe.



I like these a bit better than some of the others. Originally my idea was to have another set for winter tires, or even drag radials. If I happen come across a decent deal on some studded tires, I'll probably pick them up. It'll be nice to have 2 vehicles at the house that have winter sets.

I proped them up next to my truck.



Haha.

These tires are 265/70/17. Are these the factory size? My destination ST tires are 275/45/20. That means these are about 1 3/4" taller than what I'm running. Good thing I have airbags and coilovers! LOL If they don't clear, I'll have to make a few adjustments.

 

I *think* that is a pretty good price for that 4340, thanks for sharing the seller.

I bought a mini-lathe back in January to make a short-throw shifter adapter for the T56 that I swapped into my 2WD Tahoe in place of it's stock 4L60. I just measured and I can fit 1 3/4" round bar into my lathe and machine you a reasonably square 90-degree ends if you'd like. If you end up liking those diy washers and want some that are square then I'll buy some of that stock because I may need to do this myself.
