So coilovers and all the parts are ordered I'm going with the same setup or close to it as mikerider

Fox emulsion 6.5
12" springs 700lb
No name limit straps
5/8 shaft eibach bump stops
Seat belt weld on limit strap mounts
Extended eylets
Meoostepside coilover conversion bracket kit

Ill post a more detailed update with all the part numbers and my total cost but I'd say it's about 1200$ total for the the conversion

 

Sweet

 

A little update

Mike welded on my limit straps and helped me get setup for my coilovers
Painted my radio bezel silver
LEDS in corners, backups, dome light
Rear shackles, explorer leafs, new u-bolts, and eliminated superlift blocks
Blistine 5100s new

Ill post a few pics now and the rest later

 

Awesome, those bilsteins look sweet. I approve of all these mods. Can't wait to see those coilovers

 

Looks good glad you decided to tackle the springs! It's easy to do. Make sure you torque your u bolts again in a 100 miles.

 

A little more progress this week.. The rest will get done this weekend

Bump stops and eylets done

 

Good work, I hate to rain on your day but the stock black bumper needs to be removed and your bump stop is installed upside down.

I would cut off the stock black stop, having the other ones upside down won't effect anything more then esthetics.

 

Yeah im gunna flip them around tomorrow morning its easy to do now that ive done it once the first one took me about 30min and the second one about 15 so i might as well do it tomorrow and ill remove the black stop as well and cut one section off like you said off the flat end of the stop i assume right?

 

Fixed them today cut the stops down a little bit and removed the factory ones

 

perfect! did you red lock tight the eyelets when you put them back on?

 

Yeah I did .. It's actually a really easy job removing the eyelets I'm getting pretty fast at it now lol

 

oops

 

So its in the coil overs still have some stuff to finish but its on the road

Now you have my problem. That ugly trans mission crossmember/ torsion bracket mount is showing.

I'm still try to figure out what to do about it

 

You could have someone make a thin skid bracket that you could bolt up there just to make it look cleaner

 

A few more pics of the lift my bracket kit was missing 4 bolts for the upper brackets so i picked up some stainless ones at home depot and took it back apart today and drilled those in the shock tower and painted everything. Later I'm gunna sand everything down to metal and repaint it but for now i just brushed the dirt off and spray for a better temp look.


Went and did some hot laps by the green river valley today since the weather was awesome !

 

Nice work looks great!

 

Thanks mike! couldn't have done it without you !! Thanks for all the support!

 

most recent pick

 

PVC valvue replacement and bypass. Used a catch a can.. Also replace my cam sensor which i found out was right on valve cover. Its not like the OHC where is behind the intake

 

BMW led fogs installed and 80degree weather can't complain

 

Finally got my explorer OHC in ill post some pics late got it all wired up today just need to put the black protective covering over the wires to the temp sensor. My buddy was trying to help and broke my dome light so now i need to go get a new housing for that from the junk yard unless someone has one laying around for cheap ..

 

Most recent mod...

Do you have better pictures of the parking/emergency brake?
