yeah, they were 4 banger coils in the rear, too soft, so he flexed it out on his ramp to install new coils.

looks nice but seems kinda odd. you cant have an ASE in a certain type of vehicle its a national standard for all types of vehicles he should know the difference if its legit.

Have him remove that lift so you can put a real suspension under it.

my question, or thought i guess is, can a sway bar that is still connected keep it from flexing that much. Cause I'm drooling, uh I mean, looking at purchasing a 6.5" lift from Rough Country and all the pics I've seen of people with them, they flex way better than that thing does.

I know one thing though, that pic is proof he has lockers.

yeah if you look real close the sway bar is still conected. you would think that a legit ASE mechanic would know to deconect them before triing to show flex.

I has the sway connected because he has a 150mile commute to work everday. It has also been sold so i wont be buying it.

I have found a 89 limited with a dana44, a 4.5 rough country lift and 33in mickeys. Only problem is the passenger side leans a bit. he wants 2000 with the headunit, subs and speakers. It also has only 122000 miles on it. you guys think its worth it.

See your own sig!!

JK, everyone has to start somewhere!! The problem with buying a lifted rig, especially a cheap one, is that you're possibly buying a hack job. You have to spend some cabbage to get a well built rig, or build it yourself, IMHO!! If you build it, you know EXACTLY what kind of work has been done to it. HTH!!
