I think I'll resurrect my build thread to ask a couple crucial questions I now have about my build. Wish I would've been posting on this thread the whole time, but instead just asked specific questions along the way and never updated progress. I've been wheeling it for over a year, with mostly good results, but front axle wrap is now limiting my progress and enjoyment.
For the record, I've got TNT radius arms, about 4.5" lift, WJ conversion with Ruff Stuff 1-ton OTK steering, D30 front w/ Detroit True Trac, 8.8 rear w/stock LSD, 4.10s. I've been fighting death wobble and several hard knocking noises in the front end since I put it together. I've got all new BJ's, TRE's, upper/axle control arm bushings, steering box, motor mounts, and everything is tight. Please don't respond and tell me to check that the box and/or trackbar, and/or unit bearings, and/or ball joints, and all CA bushings are tight. They're all new and all tight. Tires are brand new and balanced, don't go there.
My latest project was an extensive one to move my front shocks outboard and improve the mounts, and in the process I got two brand new Pro Comp ES9000's. Not high end, but new, and decent. Previously, the shocks had been knocking on the frame under extreme axle wrap.
