maybe his model didn't come with all the extras in it like flux cap and muff bearings... i thought the tire idea would have been helpful... i have noticed mine rides worse with lower profile.... and what exactly is a "noob answer"?

if you look he is more of a "noob" than i am. and he owns a shop yet he needs to come here and ask questions... hmm

just cuz he owns a shop doesnt mean he knows everything Pootus. apparently he's ran through every option he knows and all the options his friends know, thats why he's on a "FORUM" asking questions like your supposed too! the only people that know everything and never screw up are Jesus and Max Fish!

sorry, i'm def not a noob. I have ran my problem across people like max fish, chris (bodydropdak) and a few others. I am stumped and I have been through my suspension left to right. I know what I am doing.

By noob answer, i meant his stupid fucking muffler bearing bullshit. Just cause I dont have feature trucks falling out of my ass, doesnt mean i'm a dumbass nobody.

As for tire pressure, its at 35. Its as soft as i can go with these tires. I've had it at their recommended 42 and i've had it as low as 30, it rides the same.

Yeah, I do do shop work on the side, doesnt mean i fucking know everything. No one does, everyone rruns into something they've had to deal with before. I ask so i can learn, if you think you have nothing more to learn, sell your truck and find a new hobby.

STill looking for suggestions. only thing I can come up with if shocks this weekend doesnt fix it (which i've been told by some it should and others it shouldnt matter), then I will have to get technical and mic the spindle shafts and the bearings. Since i got the spindles machined for the 5 lug, i was told to run all toyota seals and bearings in the hubs. That is the only place I could figure any movement would come from.

if you have the truck up in the air and do a shake down and are not gettin any clunking your fine as far as the bearings go. other than that, check every single bushing possible, check the strut rod bushing up front, check the lower control arm bushings and upper bushings. when those go out, shit gets bad real fast. Plus sounds like you bought it already done. they may have melted a bushing with a torch.

also have the alignment checked, if the caster is off you will get a rough ride too

yeah, i bought it 30% or so done and have gone through and starting to redo it as a daily.

i'll check the bushings. i know my strut rod bushings are shot, they are drug to hell.

If your strut rod bushings are shot replace them first and see how it does. My room mates Nissan went thru a set after being bagged for a while and it would act similar to what you describe. They are usually peanuts to buy as well.

i will replace em this weekend then.
