  1. OK, after looking at that page from the manual again I think it makes a bit more sense. But, since I broke my ratchet last night trying to loosen the lower strut bolt I'll have to give it a while before I give it a try again (at least until i get my ratchet replaced by Sears, and get a real breaker bar again). Thanks all
  2. Tire is not cupped, only the outside is wearing. I assumed rear alignment/camber issues, but after looking at it for a long while I am still not 100% sure that I want to attempt the pry-bar alignment technique. However that may be my only option, we'll see.
  3. The car: 88 EA82 wagon, 4wd d/r etc etc... Rear tires are wearing super fast on the outside of the tire only. I thought maybe bad struts, but then I realized that would make it wear fast on the inside. Went to look at the alignment, and can't see if there is any adjustment that I can/should make. Suggestions? Any one? Beuller? Can any one tell me if fast wear on the outer edge of the tire is normal? I've only had the car about 9 months, and don't want to put new tires on if they are going to just get eaten through. Any helps is, as always mucho appreciated
  4. Sheesh, I thought I was close by the computer all day... Thanks for the quick replies, I have browsed the FAQ briefly,and will do so in more depth this evening. I shall be talking with SJR in the next week hopefully... Thanks for the tire info too, I kind of understand how height/lift and tire/wheel size correspond, but I'm still learning.
  5. I'm looking at different lift options, and I'm trying to decide which one to go with. I have an 88 EA82 d/r, spfi and I'm looking at mainly doing some "back country" car camping this summer, nothing terribly intense no real wheeling, mostly fire roads/logging roads. I just don't want to bottom out when I have 4 people, a dog and camping gear in the car. I've narrowed it down to the 2" from SJR-This is appealing obviously because it is easy and inexpensive (http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=3) But I'm curious if I would be able to get any larger tire in there, or really gain any thing. For the moment I'm sticking with the stock 13s because I have 2 full sets with tires. The other option is the SJR 4" lift (http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=3) This is also appealing, appears to be fairly straight forward to install etc etc, and I would be able to get 14s or 15s in there I assume. Given my "needs" do ya'll think the 2" lift, and sticking with 13s would work for me? Or would I be better off going with the 4" and then getting bigger tires down the line. Any help/advice is muchly appreciated.
