Ok Superlift lift kit came in Yesterday 19325937
Pulled out the shocks and put the boots on
to get things ready to roll, will still need to have
some u bolts made as know one seems to have any
of the SL kits for the FX4 Don't know what else I am going
to get done until thanks giving weekend As I go to see my son
graduate from basic training next week for 5 days but will see
really ready to get things rolling along can't wait to see her lifted

 

Lucky. Just send all that down here my way. Or if you want I will come and pick it up.

 

Nice man! Good luck with the project and report back with some pictures!

 

why does it have to be for the FX4? the kit is the same for all 4X4's if i am not mistaken..?

 

the FX4 has a different Rear end and the U bolts don't fit So I need u-bolt Kit for FX4 thats all
everything else is the same I will get some U bolts not worried about that was more worried about not getting a kit when I called SL they said 10 to 12 weeks out for kits so I am glad I got one in a week
U bolts I can deal with local if need be

 

Ok so did a small side job this morning so when I got home decided to get things ready for Lift install Pictures of the rear blocks , cable / hose bracket and U bolts I can not use

 

Here are the superlift spindles

 

Some have never done this so giveing you pictures of the parts I know when I was looking for the kits the Pictures where very vague here is the new front cross member put together loosly and also the drop down brackets for the torsion bars so far seems to have all the hardware so far

 

Here are the brakets for the front differential

 

Hey most everything looks good althought some things are not perfect
Scratched paint and so forth but its going to get torn up and mudded so who cares
right , Plus thats why god made spray paint

 

Had to Assemble this bracket some bushing and sleeve Could use the press for this
but decided to just use the bench vise it worked just as well

 

Well the sway bar link come with Jerk fitting but there where no hole drilled to install them in and no greese in the end at the fitting so I put them in to the press drilled holes in them tapped the threads then cleaned them out did not use the supplied jerks used some of my own wanted to be able to get to them easy. here is what I did and them all assm. with straps ready for installation, So thats it for today and probably this week hope to start install maybe Thanksgiving weekend there are other things I want to do while I have the front end torn apart new bearing hubs and such making sure every things is going to be tight and fresh

 

Nice job so far man! Keep the pictures coming.

 

whats that in the center i have the SL for an 00 and i dont have those brackets

?

 

You will have that thing installed in no time.

 

You're going to hate those SL shocks, they are waaaay to soft, almost feels like you're riding around with no shocks. Also, I would recommend using an add-a-leaf and chevy drop shackle in the rear instead of stacking that SL block on the factory block. That way you don't need new u-bolts, and it is a much better ride.

 

the center picture there of the dif. brackets can u tell me what what is....? is that the extended bumpstops?......someone plz help bought my lift used about to put it on n i dont have that part....what is it?

 

Sorry Cb I have been traveling yes those are the bump stop extensions

Moved stuff around in Garage to make room to work

 

Went to the local Spring shop and had u bolts made as I could not find any
