real good. they are fairly aggressive, yet not too loud. balanced real easy, and ride real straight.

rancho calls it a 4", but one of their reps was talkin to my dad(he works for painless performance so he gets some inside info) and the guy said that is because of the lift laws in some states, but if you measure how much it drops the lower a-arms its 6". yea they're 35's

had to replace a couple u joints so i figgured while everything was in pieces would be a good time.

edit: forgot to explain why torching. chevy started using a plastic that they melt and inject into a couple grooves instead of c-clips. the replacements just went on with normal c-clips.

Yeah, they've been doing that since sometime in the 80's on the aluminum driveshafts. I've heard you have to heat them, but I didn't want to heat the yokes on the aluminum that much. I heated mine just a little, but then just pressed them out. The plastic breaks and they press right out..no heat required.

really didnt take much heat and the plastic just melted and popped out. flared up a couple times, pretty cool.

thanks guys...PM box has some space now, sorry I missed yours nathan
I have :beer: budgeted for whoever picks them up and stores them, and whoever can get them to me (if I don't make a trip up first). But you should have already known that.

really, if it's a big deal I'll go up and get them myself. It doesn't seem like any of you TAMOR North guys are planning to come down here any time soon and my tires are getting scary...

hard to act rich when you walk up to the bar and ask "any specials?"
:D
It would be fun to come up though...hmmm wanna sell me some tube and build a cage?

You mean Cool River? Yeah, it's pretty bad. Kickass specials are at the regular restaraunts' bars here in Irving.

I figured out how to get them. If anybody was still planning on picking these up for me don't worry about it.
