Default RoverTym Swivel Balls

Are those slef installable? Also does it correct the steering without the need for new caster bushings? Becasue id rather not pay to have the swivel ball come then i need the bushings and i dont have a press, like many of us probally dont.

Totally user installable. They fill in and then drill new holes to change how it sits on the axle flange. I believe they use yours or do a one for one swap, not sure on the their swivels.

So how high is your truck?

well im still gathering my funds together, but im aiming for the rti 3 inch lift, and that swivel ball probally. Im also still browsing around looking for a cardan shaft. Thats pretty much the plan right now, unless you know, the range rover should happen to need some ungodly expensive part that can only be found in england haha

If your looking for shafts check out DiscoWeb Message Boards Will is a great guy to work with (off-road with too for that matter), he will hook you up.

I would talk to Rovertym. They would be your best source for the what do i need info. I have their front radius arms on my classic, and they did such a good job, that the swivels are on the back burner for now.

with the coiler rovers, you can presume on almost any of them, that they need tie-rod ends and new radius arm bushes. Those will show drastic improvement in your steering couple with the radius arms (after the lift) you will be quite happy and presently surprised.

i live on the west side of Cap Hill. Been out here for about a year and a half. liking it so far.

Mods are so much fun, if only I had an open budget. My truck is changing from an east coast mud truck to a more desert expedition friendly ride.
