I will need to get in touch with those guys down there and make a super long weekend out of it when I have more $ to throw into this rig

We are all big dreamers with small wallets on here so we feel your pain.

Since someone mentioned bump steer. Changing anything about the shocks won't change bump steer in relation to bouncing, it'll just change the amount of bouncing.

I'm living with pronounced bump steer at the moment, but will likely change knuckles to move to a hight steer setup to get some of the angle out of the drag link. As long as you're OK with letting the wheel move with the suspension it's really not a huge issue, but it's not as good as it could be either. I doubt it's actually related to what feel scary.

Since there were some surprises in this department on my van, have you had the alignment checked since you did the lift?

Edit: Do sort out your shocks, that's certainly not helping anything.

ryry,

Total cost, including shipping them back to me, was under $150. Aside from the lift kit itself (thanks again mikracer!) it's quite possibly the best money I've ever spent.

They sure looked pretty when they arrived too. You put some salsa on these and I might eat 'em...



And, John even sent me a video of how to set them up for installation. Talked to him a few times about my setup, weight, etc. and he was extremely helpful. Not sure if he ended up losing that thumb nail.

As far as Camburg customer service is concerned, I always had great experiences with Carlos Gonzales. He was very helpful even knowing I didn't purchase the kit from them carlos@camburg.com
