Haha!! I didn't notice that until you said something, I'm gonna try and swing by there tomorrow and get some info about what they do there. I asked my wifes cousin if he knew anything about it cause he's one of those guys that know everyone with a fast car or jacked up truck. He said they are still working out bugs on it.

I see a pitman arm type deal coming down.. thats how it steers, still no good though. dosent look safe. perhaps it has one on both wheels like a big truck.

O wait, I see how they did it, Pitman arm on D/S with a single crosslink to the PS (Jeep style) With the stablizers being absolutely useless in this particular case because of how they are mounted. The crosslink is BEHIND the stabilizers and they are hardmounted to the diff tube in the center via the 2 u bolts. the outer ends of the stabilizers are linked to the steering centerlink via some sort of brackets. It should work, but with tires that size i don't think that was the best idea in the world.

I don't think they know what their doing over there, Your right.. those stabilizers barely do anything where they are... That little flaw in something that cost so much money.. I don't understand, why not do it right.

this is probably a first for me. ive never seen a push/pull set up on a sfa s10 everyone always does crossover. also i dont know how that thing even steers, probably has to be moving. im running 33s and i have issues sometimes

Here....I'll diagnose it for them. They put a PS drop diff on a DS drop vehicle.....the 4x4 will NEVER work

FsTFwRd next time you go by there crawl underneath......I'm gonna bet it's a 2wd trans....cause if those morons had a transfer case with a DS drop and STILL put a PS diff on KNOWINGLY.....NEVER get any work done by them LOL
