    Make sure you do not use any kind of synthetic with the true trac otherwise it will make noise. It will only make noise when you turn sharp but it is annoying as hell and hard to figure out.

    Good luck with the install.

    All done minus the anti roll bar which I can tell I am going to need.

    Ride is not that bad. I have spherical bushings on all points except the forward lowers are delrum. Just cruising around I can't hear anything that bothers me. In a tight turn on an uneven surface or a big dip in the road I hear some a pop sound at times, but I expected that with the hardcore control arm setup.

    The steeda weight jackers control arms are the cats meow. The adjustable ride height feature is great.

    The battle boxes are from Lou at Laural Mountain Mustang and they went in really easy. You have to open the lower torque box a little other than that just drill away. Oh yea a foot long 3/8" and 1/2" inch drill bit makes the job easy.

    Oh yea 1 more thing. There is no more wheel hop.

    I had something similar from Wild Rides. No need to weld them in, but it wouldn't hurt.

    Jeff, did you paint those parts silver? You always have to cut the '94-'04 lower torque box openings to get those parts in. Doesn't look like you 'clearanced' the spare tire well. That pop is probably from a slight binding-up of the control arms or just a little movement. Don't get me wrong, the install looks good. Just trying to help. Can't wait to see how it runs.
    '03 Cobra - Mildly modded. A work in progress. 12.566 @ 110.755, 1.89 60' on street tires
    '93 Notch - Looks faster than it is.
    '72 F100 4x4 - Dormant, for now.

    If the axle isn't installed in the car, use the good ol' BFH. You can use the same technique, but hitting the axle cover is much more liable to be damaged. If not clearanced, the rear axle girdle will make it's own room.

    I didn't yet. It is pretty flimsy metal so I will just tap it with a ball pien hammer some day. There is still a good bit or room when the car is on jack stands to get in there with a hammer.
