ok so here we go. I just put my lift on today, and its all most done. this will not be a fast and exiting build, so the name is not at best use, but i liked it. my suspension was horrible and all rotted (pictures later.) so i finally was able to convince my parents to let me put it on. so we did. it as about 3.5 in. lift. now being in connecticut, there is not many off-roading spots near me so, its a mall crawler, but its my mall crawler. my hopes for it are:
-35's
-custom built front bumper
-rear stinger/swing out tire carrier
-more lights
-tj flares
-custom rockers
-more but i cant think of it

so lets see some pictures shall we?


stock:




lotta sag in the back.

Just the front done:




and now for it all done:

It still needs:
-rear brake hose
-front brake line and mount to be moved
-1 rear shock to be put in
-road tested

Well, today i did not get as much as i hoped done. i got the front brake hose on and mount moved. i also put a little piece of brake line up there too. then on to the back. i got the rear hose out of a 1996 Dodge Dakota, and its a good fit. i ran out of fittings so there is still one line that needs to be done. the brakes obviously still need to be bled too. i found a compression joint in the brake lines that my dad does not know how it got there. so thats gone. then i got the last shock half way on, but the mounts broken, so i gotta fix that. but hopefully tomorrow we will get it road worthy and maybe on the road.
