I was thinking about doing the Zero Rate add a leaf for my front suspension to move my axle 1.5' forward. Is there anything I have to consider or can I just slap 'em in and go? /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Your driveshaft might be to short and your drag link will be to long.
Wayne's right on both counts.....Been There, Done That!
Also, you may have to trim the "fang" area on the leading edge of the fenders if it's still there (stock)...depends on your tire size.

I just got those Interco TRXUS and they're 33's. BTW-I love 'em. They super quiet on the road. Can't wait to go off-road! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
My drive shaft is too long. That's why I wanted to move my axle forward. I dropped my transfer case to get rid of the vibes but I did that after getting my drive shaft extended /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif . What'll I have to do with my drag link to fix that prob?

Pull each of the drag link ends off and cut them by 3/4"...
Do it at my house if you want....I've got a chopsaw that would probably do a good job....or a cutoff wheel, or a hacksaw.
As long as you clean up the threads...they will screw back on fine. Then you'll need to set your toe-in/out again, and check the position of your steering wheel to make sure it's still pointing straight.
Pretty straightforward, unless stuff is really rusty or frozen solid.

Hey Greg when can I bring mine over and work on it in your shop? Got room for me to leave it for a couple of months? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
Could be a dangerous move....
I need the money, so I might just part it out and start posting the carnage on the "Members Only FOR SALE board"!!!
Hee Hee Hee Hee
I'll start with this item:
16 - Comp Cams 1.72 Ratio Roller Rocker arms
16 - 5/16" Diameter Pushrods
Most are already welded together for convenience.... $1000 or best offer. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Cool deal. I have access to a good cutter but I might need some help setting the toe-in/out. I don't know anything about that stuff /forums/images/icons/blush.gif .
Thanks,
