I decieded to burn some vacation time this week and put the Duffs 4 link on just in time for a wheeling trip Dec 6th, It's a Bronco what could go wrong? %)
I'm having a issue with the alignment. If I mount the axle truss the way it's supposed to be then the pinion angle is WAY out of alignment. See picture one. Thought I had a picture with the driveshaft but guess not, this one will have to do.
Called Duff Tuesday and they said to rotate the truss assy further up on the axle. So I did and now have better pinion angle but the coil spring pads now tilt backard and I still need to go further forward as the upper links are still to short. See picture two.
I called Duffs yesterday in fustration but the tech guy was off, not back until next week. I don't have high hopes here of getting it done for the 6th. Something is way off.
Anyone else have any of these issues?
Running 5.5" lift and standard rear Bronco axle.
Did a little research and found a source that said the upper links shold be 70% of the length of the bottom links. The bottom links measure 38" and top links 40". ?????
Any thoughts?
I am thinking about making a upper link at the 70% measurement and placing it on the truck just to see what happens.
