ok got one! installed yesterday, got it slightyly used for $400 shipped to me..

interested in more input on this since I'm in the market for a topper for my 2010 tundra longbed, it needs to act as a camper for sleeping in at dirt bike events and also keeping stuff dry getting to desitnations with the family. I also need some sort of rack on top to carry kayaks on longer...

they had the toe numbers @ +.10, quigley calls for max of +.01

The shop straightened out my alignment, and I also put new rotors/pads up front which cured the hanging pad issue which was causing it to pull to the left. The alignment seems very straight and true. I still feel that the van is a little "hyper or sensistive". I am starting to think that it...

Let me clarify that I do not believe the the SS will cure DW, however in my case it certainly prevented it from occuring. I changed nothing else initialy but the SS and the DW was gone! That being said, I don't believe that it cured the DW but masked it! When the SS began to wear out I...

thanks guys, I appreciate all the comments and sugestions. everything in the front end appears tight, checked ball joints and tie rod ends when I bought the van. it has 57k on it. it also doesnt feel like anything is loose in the handling, almost like it is too tight! I bought the short...

After just talking with the alignment tech, it apears he wrote down the toe specs incorectly they are (min -.06, max +.07, pref +.01) we are currently at +.10. he also mentioned that the drivers side front wheel/caliper seems to to be hanging slightly (which I do remember being the case last...

Yes, almost makes me wish I didn't spend $350 to get the alignment and trackbar bushings done!

it was quigley's recomendation to go with the shorter lower torque arms to bring the caster to ~3 to reduce the possiblity of DW, the caster is currently at +2.8 (range: min +1.50 max +5.5 pref +3.5) it was @ +5.5 (max) when it left quigley. In additon it has to go back to the alignment shop...

the problem with using more recivers is that it starts to get very heavy. two recievers will be tough to line up with one person, 3 would be a complete *****. If you had to have more I sugest welding on recivers to the carrier and truck with seperate tubes to slide through with locking pins...

My 03 E250 quigley had some handling problems when I bought it used a few months ago. It had a bad case of "death wobble" and seemed to steer a little "hyper". It also rides very stiff compared to my 01 F250 (also straight axle, but leaf springs). to cure the DW, I installed a new skyjacker...

yes, would definetly like to know who makes those!

gettin there: gettin there:

so far I love it, although it's a very stiff ride compared to my RWD e350. I got the death wobble straigtened out with $100 skyjacker stabilizer and bracket from quigley and put new rear brakes on it. sounds like there is an exhaust leak at the manifold I have to address but I love the truck...
