Thanks there a few squarebodies around town but none like mine and I like it that way.
Not yet I'm not done with it yet lol. You and my wife will have to fight for it as she is quite attached to it as well.
I'm bettin on his wife @Vbb199
The few shops we have around town range in price between $80-$100 for just the front . I paid $80. They were lowest and had the cleanest shop as it was just built 6-8 mos ago . but main reason I went to them was their top notch equipment . their alignment rack was set in the ground so no matter how low a vehicle. It would be able to get on the rack without any fuss . and the second reason is it was less than a mile from my house so I wouldn't be chewing up my tires cause of incorrect toe. Glad I did it too. Driving there it didn't seem bad at all . however the printout they give of the before and after was another story. Truck drives straight as an arrow now. Highly recommend getting it done.
Yea I replaced all balljoints, control arm bushings , tie rods, idler and pitman arm, 3 inch drop spindles , rotors/hubs and brake pads. And drop shackles and hangers in the rear. It's like a brand new truck. Just got a little play in my gearbox . but gonna try and make some adjustments to it to see if I can get the play out. If not a quick ratio gearbox will be on the list .
Thankfully, you already had good alignment and nice tires. I bought 5 new tires for my burb, and had to learn the hard way the suspension was **** and out of alignment.
It ate my front tires, so i did balljoints, coils, tie rods, pitman and idler, as well as new shocks and sway bar bushings.... total price... 600... then new tires for the front.... came up to about 360.... then an alignment 2 days later. 60.....
I knew it was coming tho, i just knew it was gonna cost me 1000 or more for all that, is what it is i guess.
Reminds me, i need to pop my diff cover and check on my gear lash and pinion depth before those get ate up and i have to regear the rear end AGAIN.
That whole front end job in general has caused much frustration and confusion since the truck fell off the lift
(For anyone too lazy to go back and read, or in general unaware, the night it fell off the lift and slammed down on the back tires, after we recovered it, and i drove it home that night, i started to hear a whine, which i started the investigation in the trans to find bad parts used in the build, which i replaced and restacked the trans, but the whine immediately became present again on the first drive on the "freshened up" trans, i am suspected the rear end got racked really hard when it fell)
