Thanks, Sorry for the repost. Guess I just don't know how to use the search function properly. I'll take it off soon!

I was told by a 4x4 buddy of mine that many people take off the anti-sway bar in the front of a rig to help with flex. Has anyone done this? Why should/shouldn't I try it. Thanks, Pyro

I put a couple more washers behind them, now it won't rub. But it's still weird it's only rubbing on one side. And I can't figure out what might be bent to cause it to rub. Seems like the wheel or hub would give before the swingarm would.

It does not hit much now, but I've already spaced it out with a couple washers. I'm afraid of spacing it too far. Doesn't it have to have the middle ring on the hub inside the ring on the wheel?

The only thing that I can see that could be bent would be the entire swing arm. Either that or it has slid toward the middle of the car pulling the tire/wheel into it. I just did a rear spring swap, wonder if that did it. Never removed anything I didn't need to.....hmmmm, interesting.....

That is what I was afraid of.

It's easy to taper the holes a little. I don't think it would take much. The center of the wheel fits rather tight around the hubs/drums.

I was wondering what I will break if I flip around the AA wheels on my rig. I just put some 235/75-15 wildcats on it but for some reason the left rear is rubbing on the bolt the swing arm pivots on. I flipped around that wheel so I could drive it home (didn't want to make a 2nd trip to Les Schwab's ) I was thinking that I could increase my wheel base and fix the whole rubbing problem by just flipping all 4 wheels around. any thoughts?

Where was that vid. shot? Looks like a spot near me! I didn't think there were many members on my side of the mountains.

Just had to show these to some folks who could appreciate them. This was the first chance I've had to take that thing out somewhere with someone who could pull me out if I got stuck! Had a :banana:BLAST! :banana:But now my steering is very stiff. Oh well, it's the price you pay I guess. ~Pyro

My lifted (4/4) 86 gl wagon is bottoming out in the rear over every little bump. It is not hitting the bump stop, the springs are just fully compressing. I've found with some searching that 86-89 front honda accord springs will fit, but I wasn't sure what model, or if it even mattered. Just wanted to ask the question directly so I don't buy the wrong ones :-\ Thanks, Pyro

I made a set out of some all thread, and a couple of hooks I bent and welded to some short pieces of 1/2" tubing which slid over the all thread. Good luck and be careful! *It might be quicker/easier to borrow a set from schucks*

Yeah, I'm thinking of repainting it. I traded my old ford f250 for it a year ago.

Well, here's my little beast. It has another set of tires on right now. (235/75/15 hancok snows) Nothing special under the hood. EA82, webber, the D/R 5 sp. i made into a 2wd hi/low, or 4wd hi/low. (more torque in 2wd without binding the rear) She has seen some hard times, but is under my loving care now. I was told this was the old allied armament demo rig. (http://alliedarmament.homestead.com/SubParts.html) I'd love to have any history on it if anyone one knows anything about it. It does have the AA wheels, front and rear bumper, skid plate, and spare rack.

I am, but not for much longer. I have a 3 - 4 lift, or is it 4-3 i dont remember. When I bought the car it has 30x10.5 r15's on it and they rubbed pretty good. now with the 225 70 15's they dont rub, but they also have no tread. putting on some 235/75 15 hancock snow tires i got for a steal. Good luck! Pyro
