Default Adjustable LCA's

Forgot to mention I sold the RC fixed LCA and picked up some Adjustable lowers for a good price. Will buy the uppers from the same guy when I get the ones I have posted on here sold. These are made out of solid round stock not tubing. Seem pretty stout. Are powder coated dark grey.

Went ahead and bought the uppers. Could not help it. With any luck I will get started lifting this thing next Friday the 11th. I am off that day so it gives me three days to complete the lift.

Rims also finally arrived after a month and a half of waiting. Will have the 32x11.50's mounted this coming Monday.

Default What a job

So I got around to lifting this old heep. Let the fun begin. Here is some of the parts. Leafs, springs, rims. I did not take pics of all the new parts.

I can't believe how much work this was. Did it all by myself. I was a wore out puppy.

More pics to come. Dealing with drive shaft vibrations at the moment. Dropped the t-case last night 1" and that pretty much cured the rear vibration. Working on the front now.

Does anyone have any good ideas how to install the adjustable upper control arms after the fact? I don't want to have to take everything back apart just to get them in but I believe that will cure my pinion angle issue.

Made some bar pin eliminators for the rear shocks after removing the rear sway bar. Saw this trick on some other web site. Save you a few dollars so you only have to buy a set for the front.

This is just a quick dirty picture of the finished lift. I will post some better ones when she is cleaned up. Still got a couple of odds and ends to button up.
