My lift kit install!!!!! Finally
After 6 days of wrenching, cutting, torching, hammering its finally on. It's a Rough Country 3'' Lift with the full leaf packs. After driving it for a few days I must say I really like it! Anyway on with the pics.
Hooray For UPS!!! https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061093 In the shop: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061168 On the jack stands: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061213 Getting the front end apart: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061282 https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061406 Rear end apart: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061488 John putting in the new leaf springs : https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061556 Ryan taking out the lower control arm on the pumpkin side so we could get the new spring in: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061792 New spring and shock in: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061878 This ***** took SEVEN hours to get out. It was totally seized in there. In the end a cutoff wheel was the answer: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279061911 Front all back together: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279062066 Drivers side leaf pack in: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279062145 It was a long frustrating road but well worth it. In the end the only casualties were a bunch of bolts that broke off, and two sway bar end links that I broke. Before: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279062458 After: https://i520.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1279062611 Questions and comments welcome. P.S. I know I need Bigger tires. Dont worry, they are coming soon. |

The ride Is a 6 of ten now, just because of the bumpiness of the new springs. Once they settle I'm sure it will be a 7 or 8.
