this was the easiest part

 

Looks good can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm a fan of the electric green accents obviously.

What is the advantage having the control arm drop brackets? I guess with the RC fixed lowers at 4.5 inches of lift they are close to maxed out?

 

we are doing the whole job with jack stands and no air tools, only regular wrenches and cheap sockets set ...lol

 

you can get a better clearance and also you eliminate a bit of stress in the whole system lowering the arms, what means less vibrations... and by the way i will steal some ideas from your build thread ...hehehe

ready to go rear

 

when i tried to take out the old shocks the lower bolt broken in half at both passenger and driver side , those bolts was welded to the bracket so i had to cut the rest of the bolts, as well as the big spacer, then drill the brackets and use new removable bolts... luckily the upper bolts came out without problems...

i didn't want to use the relocation mounting for the brake hoses instead i got longer stainless hoses...

 

by the way anybody have an idea of what is that rubber thing that looks like an air booster or so, as you guys can see it doesn't fit any more with the lift i would like to remove them but it have some hose at the top going i don't know where i don't wanna do anything wrong if i just disconnect them....

 

oh i forgot i also have to install the new muffler, tail pipe and catalytic converter... i hope to finish this weekend ... i have the new rims too but i guess i gonna hold that till i have the money for the new tires, i don't wanna install them on this tires and then expend money again when i get the other tires

 

What tires you going with?

 

i got cragar 15x8 rims so i gonna go with 32" tires am thinking on BF or maybe mikey bajas, but that will have to wait a couple of months

 

That rubber bumpstop looking thing Is not factory. It looks to be some type of helper for when you have a heavy load in the back. Instead of it being a helper spring it's just an air bag.I would get rid of it.. If you follow the line it will probably go to a small air compressor. You won't hurt anything by taking it all out.
While we're on the topic of bumpstops depending on the tire size you go with you may want extended ones.

I'm really surprised the studs for the lower shock mount both broke on you! Never had that happen to me in all of the shocks I've taken off. It's always the uppers that want to break.

Your doing a good job! I always worked on my back with no air tools. Until I got my current job with coworkers who have lifts and compressors to power my air tools You can borrow all the ideas you want from my build thread go ahead and ask questions if you have any!

Where did you get your brake line extensions from? I'm trying to weigh my options.
