pormgb - I see in your photos above that you have radius rods, do you experience any binding in the suspension travel?Attachment 31509
No, no binding. I do have dual 250lb springs per side so there ain't much suspension movement. When setting up the differential, I made sure that when at rest, the control arms were as horizontal as possible. This gives equal movement up and down, the radius arms don't travel very much in either direction.
