Hey,
I'm not sure what to think of these blocks welded onto my frame, which have the spring perches welded onto them. The PO then put a sweet OME 3" lift on, but is has really thrown my angles off. I have a couple questions:
-Will a caster shim fix the pinion angle?
-Thoughts on frame stability with these welded blocks?
-Should I cut them out and return to stock? -->how stable is this now?
-Should I be looking at a frame swap? Is this a unstable mod?
I realize if I cut out the block and manage to re-weld the perches back onto the frame, I'll need to move the slider. I will also not be using the large rivets (are there serious issues with doing this?)
Pictures below show the welded in "lift" blocks. First one is the front, second picture is the rear.
(new body bushings are on the way)
Thanks
