The brackets were bought from RC to go with my 3" RC AAL lift. The factory shackles are mounted to the new brackets. This is the kit pre-installed minus the bump stops.

To clean a throttle body you will require Brother in Laws (any inlaw will suffice) toothbrush, can of carb cleaner, shop towels. Spray, scrub, wipe repeat.

what he said. Check out my build thread. I took all the stages of the upgrades.

For her 585000 km anniversary, the Peep got a fresh rocker cover, gasket, and crankvent lines. Regular oil changes = no sludge! Those are the original Renix injectors. Oven cleaner and bristle brush will clean your inner cover grime. VHT Engine Enamel will add bling factor. I had a spare cover prepared. Cleaned up the engine and pulled back the wires and hoses for easy access. 95 in Lb torque in 3 increments.Go round twice on last step. Swivel on the socket for rear driverside bolt. Don't rush it.

I have the same relocator brackets but I've heard the stock shackles wouldn't work. Good to see if I wanna get rid of my extended shackles I can use stock ones
