is front bushing kit needed with those degrees for lift. i got my rear end pinion angle perfect. is it needed in front. does it make that big of a difference. i have to do my track bar bushings to cure death wobble anyway but just curious what you guys think. i have a 3" sl up front.

yes it will change it. think between where your arms bolt to the axle that bushing is thick! lol take that out you got a big gap between your arms. not good that will also cause the death wable to and your flex and safty. its a pain to replace them to :p

will it make front springs sit goofy or what happens. i have 3" lift. i know no one sells that but measured that is what it is. i havent added winch yet so i know that will prolly knock off 1/8". anyway. changing the bushings will i need to change anything else. could that be causing the wobble. changing those front bushing and all fixes it. you said it is hard. like freakin impossible or half a morning to do or what.

I'm not sure what your question is. But the more you raise the front, you decrease caster. Degreed caster bushings will roll the axle back to where it will track straight. 3" sup. lift you need 4* or 7*. When you get your caster back closer to specs, that should help with the death wobble problem.
