Default D2 owner from Colorado

Hi all, I've had my 2004 D2 since 2010 but I am new to the forum. In the last 2 months I've put a 2 inch spacer lift from Toddco suspensions, new Terrafirma All-Terrain shocks and steering damper, and a set of 5 new Goodyear Duratracs (275/65 18). I just replaced the rear brakes with Brembo rotors and Akebono pads hoping to eliminate some of the dust, fronts will have to be done soon. I'm hoping to test my new setup on the trails soon!!

Welcome. Please check your front drive shaft, oem model does not have grease fittings on double end, it snaps, it flails around, it bashes hole in transmission case. Rebuild article in our tech area, or aftermarket replacement.

Those spacers are not made to be a lift with a stock warn out factory suspension. As soon as you can go to a good lift with coils and shocks cause what you now have is an even more top heavy unstable vehicle when off road.

I'm also in co springs, not as many fun things to do locally in the rover since all the trails are closed due to trail damage from flooding
