WELP, as promised I got the front part of the lift in today.
My thoughts on coil spring compressors : Pain in the ***
The nice thing about the compressors was the fact that I didnt have to disconnect ANYTHING. Not the lca's not the sway bar, NADA. It took a bit of wrestling to get them in and out, had a couple close calls safety wise, but overall it went smoothly.
The rig sits much much nicer now.
Plans for the near future:
Rough Country steering Stabilizer
Ditch rear sway bar
Longer Shocks
relocated brake lines
30's or 31's
Next couple months:
Lunch box locker in the dirty thirty
Heres some pics including a gay poser shot lol

one more thing,
I removed my home-made intake and put my stock air box back in. I realized that the thing was about as useful as a crap flavored lolly-pop, as I never got around to making a heat shield for it. I think it actually decreased my MPG because it just made me want to stomp on the gas. It sounded pretty cool with the pedal down... lol
I might make a shield for it in the future.
