haha, well we are waiting on the gears to come in now... then it shouldnt be long!

 

I hope he pulls those shocks out.....lol.


Nice.....get it done dad! Make sure he changes out the front dif fluid while it's out.

 

Have you been driving it around with the different rims and tires all jacked up in the back?

 

^^Believe the original poster is stationed in Germany...his old man is doin' the work.

 

Looks good!

 

truck looks great, when i bought my BFG's i almost bought the KM2's, but im bout to start ordering my new set of tires pretty soon :) mud grapplers here i come.. lol

 

this is correect.. unfortunate though.. I wish i was home so i could work on it, but the Air Force says no.. lol..

Fx4- He is taking the shocks out.. The shocks that came with the lift are the wrong ones, so we have to get differents ones. i think we are going with rancho.. Dont think they are the best, but they will do for right now... ill upgrade when i go with lift leafs in the back instead of blocks...

the differential fluid should get changed.. I think it comes with the master install kit with the gears?

 

F the block, go with a AAL and chevy shackles!

 

haha, the blocks are staying for right now.. till i can get aal's...

 

Heads up, finding the correct length shocks for the front is a hard thing to do. To my knowledge, only superlift and possibly procomp are the only brands that bolt right up to the 4" lift. I wanted to run bilsteins up front w/ a jeep shock conversion up top, and pressout the stock bracket at the bottom, and press that into the new bilstein.

 

wooo.. so then the rancho 4"'s wont work? crap, ill need to tell the padre before he orders them lol..

 

Dude, you're gonna need to update your avatar soon!

 

If it's a stud at the top, and a 2 hole bracket at the bottom, and they are for 4" lift, then it'll work. But...like i said, to my knowledge, superlift and possibly procomp are the only ones that'll work for a 98+ 4x4 w/ 4" of lift.

Yellow/Blue bilstein is a replacement for a stock front 98+ 4x4.....notice the bracket at the bottom, and the stud at the top.

 

Wow, that helps alot!! thanks so much!
