pre lift jitters
 

Aight so I've had my lift sittin in the garage for about a year now. it's only an RC 3" series II but I've still got the jitters. I got brand new leaf packs, the up country ones for about $80 and I put my 3" RC AAL's inside those so should net just under 4" in the rear and then 3" up front. my questions are, 1.) what should I bring extra of. I'm doing this across the Ny PA border so I'm 45 mins from home and the nearest parts store. 2.) how long should I expect to take on it. my grandfather restored cars for his hobby so he's good with tools/welding etc., but has never installed a lift (he likes his classics to be 100% original). 3.) can I drive home with drivetrain vibes because I didn't order a tc drop or shims because I had no time. any help is appreciated.

you can use longer bolts and washers for a temp t case drop

and a 96 or newer will almost always vibe at 3" +

Bring a swear jar. You will have enough to buy tires by the time you get the lift on. Especially if the bushing sleeves are frozen to the bolts on the rear leaf springs.


Just make sure you have the simple stuff like new U bolts, penetrating lube (or make some with kerosene and ATF) and a good breaker bar.

ok, so I'm runnin a 99, so I'm going to expect the vibes, but is it ok to drive 55-70mph for 45mins to and hour. and as for tires I'm runnin 30"s by 9.50 right now because I would pass inspection without new tires so I'm stuck with those for awhile.
