Yeah, mine was around 6

 

ok thank you two... i just didnt want to under-compensate the oil amount.

 

Just check it after you're done.

 

so i decided that i think im gonna do a bastard pack, ive heard people say you can use stuff off of dakotas and s10's what truck or vehicle would get me the most lift, and just be able to bolt on? and could i also use spacers? i found a junkyard that leafs are 15 each, shocks are 4 each, coils are 6 each. i think thats all pretty reasonable compared to paying 5-700 i think.... just need to know exactly what vehicle to use to get most lift and be able to just bolt on... i need to know asap, i'm thinking about doing my lift pretty soon...

 

I don't know very much about bastard packing, and I'm sure someone else here can help you out. As for coils, V8 ZJ coils are said to give you 1"-2" for the front.

 

i know im gonna sound stupid when i ask this but everyhing will be bolt on installation right? and what should i do if my bolts break when im taking all the other stuff off? i know i should soak them in pb blaster for a few days but still... im wanting to go this route cause i realized how much cheaper it is.

 

All I can say is PB blast! Every day. It saved me from breaking many bolts, but I still managed to break some. What height are you looking for?

 

So you get the new leaf pack from the donor vehicle (Dakota, s10, etc.) and you cut the eyes off of them. Then you incorporate those leaves onto your current ones. There is no real set way to do it it's more of a trial and error thing until you find the right combination that gives you the lift you want. It depends a lot on both the condition of your current leaves as well as the ones you get from the JY

 

how do you get out the broken bolts??? and as high as i can get with a bastard pack... and are those prices good?

 

When I broke my bolts, I had to drill and tap them.

 

what do you mean cut the eyes off? am i gonna have to do any welding

 

could you possibly elaborate on that? and sorry im asking you so much.. its still my dads DD and it cant be out for more than a weekend.

 

is there anything else i should be getting there for the lift while im there? and if you look at my leafs in a previous picture there very very flat....

 

Here's the bastard pack.

I wouldn't recommend forcing it into a weekend unless you're working with someone who knows what they're doing. My first time took me a hell of a lot longer than I originally intended. If you have everything at once it might be a little better, but still. I would allow for extra days just in case something breaks or doesn't work correctly.
