I don't know if you want more than this, but these are hosted by myself and won't be deleted or have a host run out.

Thats a good start, but I want the whole shebang! Start to finish, lots of photos so it can be a very complete How To and anytime somebody asks about it they can just be linked there.

You also need to get it aligned. Unless you like buying tires.

lmao, 2 pages and tons of people later....no write up.... I would do it if it didnt throw your alignment off....i was thinking just an inch or so to lift it up some wouldnt hurt the alignment that much, but i think ill just leave it alone...

Just hold tight until you need tires, and do it right before you go in to get the tires mounted. You should always get a front end alignment when you get new tires anyway.

Never seen a body lift how-to.

Question: How does one pretend to crank the t-bars?

Listen to this crap...

I went & tried to do mine today & they woulen't harley move @ all & I even had teh front end off the ground. So after being pissed about that I went to a local auto shop & went to get them to do it & to get my front-end alligned & the lil ***** say that I need new upper ball joints & a new tie rod socket or something like that. So I didn't do it, but I got pics of the bolt itself, but I'm sure that everyone else has one of those too...

Well that sucks..your problems, I couldnt care less about this...

Ok, lets try this. If somebody can take pictures of the bolts, multiple angles, the wrench on the bolts, the wrench size I can work with that. No need to actually do it. Thanks.
