On another note. The things I didn't use from the kit:
Alignmet cam washers, couldn't get them the work with the stock bolts. Dust shield, I don't know what the hell they are talking about because they were not on my stock knuckles. Crush washers for calipers, folks at work and friends told me to use the old ones so that they fit the grooves already there. Any advice on these items is welcomed!! Thanks. |
Sounds like you are right on target, the stuff you skipped is minor.
Keep the alignment cams for when you take it to get an alignment. If they need them they will use them |
Forgot something, the front diff. breather hose. When I pulled the diff. I didn't notice where it was attached up in the engine bay. I need to reattach it, but where?
Does it really matter as long as it's up high enough? Think I should try and extend them up with more hose and just attach them where I see fit? |
Epic thread. Nice work, man!
|
id just run it up in the engine but just make sure it doesnt touch anything hot that it will melt too
|
Stock, the breather kinda runs up the driverside. Might be push pinned into the frame...honeslty don't remember.
|
jealousy is killing me, what i would do for someone to be selling a damn lift so i dont have to front up all that money at once......next weekend hopefully......
|
Alright, got everything retorqued and tires on. Once the springs settled it's about 77" to the roof. I still need to adjust them though. I'm so pleased with the way this turned out.
Garage is a little too small to get good pics. But anyways.... http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/6906/img0177lk0.jpg http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2466/img0176nr8.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/9794/img0175up2.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/7751/img0172po4.jpg http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/3075/img0174ri6.jpg |
outch! crank them coil-overs! once those coils settle after the first drive, you'll be riding the bumpstops is looks like.
|
Is that CV shaft angle normal? Looks good

your still going to be lower than a superlift.. I was lower than RangerNVS and Zach was taller than someone with the RCD.. so the 2" short may be right lol

Some folks at work told me that I should go ahead and get the rotors turned slightly. Is this true even though they are brand new? |
You need to 'bed-in' the new rotors. There's likely a coating on them to prevent rusting during shipping and shelf life. It'll stop like junk until that coating is worn down.
You should be able to get those missing 2" out of it.....if not....congrats! your coils are sagging already. lol.

you'll have to give me some measurements on how tall it is and let us know how well those springs flex, Im contemplating taking the block out and getting the lift springs.
