There is a thread called chicks with cruisers. I can't find it now on my phone though...

Yes there are a lot of good lookin girls in ttown but I had to go o southern Il to did the one for me though.


i cant find the thread now even on my real computer, im pretty sure RogueBetty started it... but it isnt listed under her threads started and i cant find it in a google search...


maybe a "chicks with cruisers" was just a thread i dreamed would happen....

Thanks again Zac for the bushings and arms. I installed them yesterday at work and the truck drives a ton better. One night, Matt and I will push out the rest of the bushings in 'my' old arms and I'll keep them around for anyone wanting to do caster correction. That way, you can press your bushings in these used arms without taking your current arms off.

Here is a picture of my old bushings:

Man those things are rough! I hope your new ones stay together.

Matt since you have had bushings and drop brackets which would you recommend?

I talked to Will and he said even if I don't notice a problem now that I will if I go wheeling, pull a trailer, or go to 35s....

Does anyone run the caster correction arms?? I cant even remember who makes them I just saw a link once and I think they were as much or more than the OME lift kits.

I don't have drop brackets, I have plates. Plates give more correction than bushings. I felt like I needed more caster with the the part time transfer installed and the extra height I gained when I swapped the tranny.

Weird that he said that about the correction. From my experience low caster is most noticeable when you are riding unloaded on the road. Off road low caster keeps the steering lighter. If you add a trailer or a bunch of gear to the truck you decrease the height and increase caster, especially with the back loaded down. If you are worried about it I would get your alignment checked to see what the numbers actually are. Every truck is a little bit different. My truck seems like it was low on caster to start with, yours may have started high.

You definitely don't need plates or arms, they will be way too much for you.

no doubt. It's most noticable on the road than anywhere else. As you say, lighter steering which is why i lamented with changing Lorena, but I had to flat tow...

Oh I guess I don't know what plates are then... I'll look it up when I get home.

I can't tell a problem with mine and I have seen lots of pics of those bushings fail.


Like my buddy always tell me "just run what you got."
