MT64 question - LC to GX

[Jheri]

Just got around to swapping my suspension.

Stuck with standard load MT64 in front and Dobinson C59-819V (200-400lb) for the rear.
Visually looks pretty level but I'll take proper measurements and photos on flat ground and report back.

So far very happy with the ride quality which feels essentially identical to when I had them on my LC (was using OME 3338 on that). Have yet to add my winch and drawer system and praying I wont need to make changes.

Disregard, need to go back to the drawing board after inspecting on level ground and driving about 50 miles. Not sure if these are from the MT64s or something else but will need to do some testing. If anyone on the forums have experienced anything similar, any feedback would be great!

- Passenger side lean. I've heard about the dreaded GX lean but mine seems a bit severe. About an inch lower on the passenger side front and rear. Visble from the inside as well and now that I've seen it, I can't help but 'feel' it as well while driving. Spare tire swing out is on the passenger side so wondering if I need a stiffer setup. Going to remove the swing out and see if that levels things out.

- Front driver side suspension noises while at full lock or close to full lock. Seems to happen when wheel is turned on an incline/decline or speed bump. Basically anything that compresses the front left suspension while turning. What's odd is they're different noises every time. First sounded like a crunch/metallic rubbing, next sounded like a popping noise, then a clunk noise, and then a loose rattle. Doesn't look like anything is actually touching the OME MT64s. Hoping it's just dried out bushings or a skid plate (CBI skid plates) thing. Going to remove skids, retorque suspension parts, and grease/replace bushings and test again.

Or I"ll just change to a different suspension set up haha.
