Default Lift complete!

I got my lift done. My only major holdup was the passenger side LCA bolt was completely seized in the old LCA. I sawzall made fairly quick work of it.

This is the RC 3.5" Kit, new LCA's, new track bar, in front with their nitro 9000 shocks all the way around. In back I'm running the dodge dakota BP setup and it gave me about 3" of lift without the super heavy helper spring. I haven't flexed the front yet, but the back will flex to maximum deflection of the shocks and all my lines in front are long enough to handle the flex.

Looks great, rides great, only a little bit of driveshaft vibe I have to clear up and then I should be good.

All pictures shown with before on top and after below.

A little bit, but only in upwards of 65mph. Am looking into putting on a 1/2" tcase drop later this week, maybe next weekend. My hands are tired from putting the lift on and I want to enjoy my work for a little while

Oh my god, this is the best I've felt about it since... since I started driving it really. the dynamat and speakers were pretty nice, but this just feels great.

The tires I got on there are the tires that are staying on there. I'm done throwing money at it for a while, these tires only have like 5k miles on them, and I'm running a locker in a dana 35 (OH NOES!!!). So these are the largest tires I plan to run for a while. Anyway, they tuck up all nice and purdy into the wheel well when I flex.

These tires are grippy and quiet on the road. They're here to stay for a little while.

Thanks. When I first was driving this thing, it looked like this:


I'm very proud of how far I've come with it. I want to take this time to enjoy my work and tweak out a couple of little gremlins here and there I've been meaning to get to for the last two years.
