DR install

Just wanted to say thanks to Jason and his crew for the Donahoe lift installation 2 days ago. The lift and the DO sliders I already have definitely gave this noob enough "steel courage" to tackle the rock climbing at Anza Borrego yesterday!

BTW, to the guys that had issues with the stiffness of the DR UCAs and the steering not autocorrecting after turning -- I experienced some of that right after the install but most of it went away after I had it aligned. I took it into Longo Toyota and after a few hours they had it within spec. The rest of the stiffness that I have (it's not that bad at all and hardly notice it) will probably go away after some break-in period.

So even after wheeling at Anza Borrego the UCAs still exhibit stiffness, but your steering is pretty good? Please see my post titled "Donahoe UCA Issues." If your steering is good, but the arms are still stiff it sounds like the bolts which hold the uniball to the tapered adapter in the spindle may have loosened up.

If everything on your install is still tight then I am happy the arms are working out for you. I really hope I can get mine straightened out soon. Still waiting on a response from Donahoe.

Thanks,
Shawn
