Superlift is going on...finally going to be lifted!!!!!!

ok so i bought victory80's superlift and it is going to be here tomorrow. i tore the whole front end out of the truck today and hopefully ill be able to get it all in tomorrow. im probably going to be running my 32 inch dune graplers on the 18's for a while until i get some 33's. i sold my superswampers for 300 on those steel wheels and the tires had about 10% left....so i lucked out there. my dad got some 35's for his jeep but he is now second guessing putting them on because he only has 3.73 and he wants to re-gear first......he was going to give me his 1/2 tread 33 hankook's on M/T classic 2's if i bought him wheels to put the 35's on but i don't know if that is gonna happen....so well see.....any way pic from today's work.

Sweet man.. it's not high enough until you jack stands can't reach your frame at full extension.. I need like 10" of blocks below my jack stands... clearance is awesome, but it only gets harder to work on it.. haha I keep a little folding becnh step behind my seat so if I need to get under the hood i can reach lol and even to just put the damn hood up..

you might want to change out anything that seems like it has play in it while it is apart

though it does look like you've got moogs already

ya all the BJ's have about 3000 miles on them so they should be fine....but i was thinking about swapping them out since they have a life time warranty and kragen has them in stock....since it is such a pain to change them....also my lowers have ripped boots cause i put too much grease in them when i first got them....but they still feel fine...

well just got my rear shackles....hopefully with the expo leafs and shackles ill be somewhat level....but i have a feeling im gonna need an aal....which sucks cause i just got new u-bolts when i put the expo axle in so if i do an aal ill need new ubolts again...but with the tbars maxed i was still about 1inch higher in the back so maybe ill be alright.....but when i do coils in the front then ill defiantly need something...cause my bars are pretty saggy...
