    LB7: Brake pedal slow return/ PS flushing?

    Ok so i just changed my pads, rotors, and bled the brakes and my pedal stiffened up a little but not a ton. Not to mention theres a ton of gunk in the brake fluid reservoir so i might take it off and clean it. But my main issue is my pedal has some slop in it when your first press it and its...

    Lift install complications

    Now i just saw another forum that said with the energy bushings I went with that I might need to install the bushings from the inside out. Instead of the factory way- outside in?

    Lift install complications

    Im putting my 6" zone lift on my truck and everything has gone pretty smooth....that is until now. I have the front and rear NEW differential drop down brackets installed..and it was kinda a bitch to get the front diff in. I had to jack on the diff quite a bit to get the back holes to line up...

But, its getting new ones in that I'm worries about, and I've only found new bushings that don't have the metal sleeve pressed into them...and thats the problem.

    Pinching pennies on front end suspension/ steering replacement, Help?

    Good to know, And the CVs are fairly cheap, and I'm all about preventative maintenance. So i figured id change em now while I'm in there, they have almost 140,000 miles on em, and i noticed the boots are starting to rot out. They have some cracks and what not in em

    Pinching pennies on front end suspension/ steering replacement, Help?

    Roger that thank you, So my plan then is to get the beefed up tie rod ends, the idle and pitman arm support braces, new upper control arms, and replace the lower bushings and ball joints, not to mention new CVs

    Pinching pennies on front end suspension/ steering replacement, Help?

    Which control arms do you recommend? I don't think ive seen any for 90 bucks, plus im still going to change the lower ball joints and bushings. I did notice the uppers are hollow and spot welded whereas the lowers are solid cast

    Pinching pennies on front end suspension/ steering replacement, Help?

    Its not that I can't afford it, Its more like I'm just trying to save money, and was more curious to know what parts should be UPGRADED before the others. None of the steering/ suspension components are damage on my truck, just a few torn boots. It just makes more sense to change them now while...

    Pinching pennies on front end suspension/ steering replacement, Help?

    well, If i just do all stock parts. and not upgrade them. Ive been able to price it out around 300-400 which is reasonable. I guess the better question is what parts are more of a priority to upgrade than others lol
