Thanks, I am also feeling left out having a Gamaviti with no wind deflector.....its louder than the tires. I clear the garage door opening by maybe a 1/2" with the rack on. I should have build it with an 8' door.
Hah man. You can just order the deflector by itself and use threaded bar clamps from Amazon to attach it. That’s what I did. I ordered mine without as well to go for the minimalist look but it was so freaking loud
I dunno. Assuming you want, say, 1" of rake, putting the tank back in and filling it might do wonders. Mine has an aftermarket bigger tank so I can't compare apples to apples. I'd put that tank back in, fill it, drive it and see where it settles before going with spacers.
I just got the tank back in tonight and man. It was a battle getting those straps close to get the bolts started. Was probably out there for an hour and a half working on two bolts. It’s still empty so no rear height change so far but hoping it drops it down a little bit!
Thanks man! I really appreciate it. I’m kinda losing steam now that I am back at work during the day. I took off Thursday and Friday to work on it. Really appreciate the kind words!Also you’re absolutely killing it. Huge props!!!
I agree your not done putting weight on the back end.. have you checked your castor angle? I'm sure @TRAIL TAILOR has more answers on 80 spring heights/weights. Spacer would be cheap temporary fix to figure out what height weight springs with your bumper may need something for the weight not so much the height if that makes sense.
I haven’t checked yet, hoping to go get an alignment to see where I’m at once I’m all back up and running. Kind of by some stroke of luck the 5* plates and high pinion diff put my front pinion angle within one degree of my tcase front output flange. On the leafs I really needed to be running a DC driveshaft because it was so far out. Now the pinion angle is perfect.
I think you’re right about the weight part of the springs. Right now from the floor to the fender line, the rear is 1.75-2 inches taller than the front
