Thanks John and all you guys I met today. Had a good time and learned alot. Cant wait to tear into mine. Wont be too long. Good weather coming. Maybe this summer you guys can come down to RI. I know some great places for QUOHOGS!!!!! I'll buy the beer. LOL. Thanks again! Scott

 

What time did you guys get out of there? Howd the allignment go?

 

We left about 430. NO allignment cause it was late but rides so smooth. I love it

 

Rides so smooth cause you have no sway bar Its like a roller coaster hahaha. Nahh its probably the old man emuuuu's there nice!

 

Haha your right lol. I need some bigger tires to complete my lift now. Tires look small now lol.

 

God bless you .... Oh you said quohogs ... Thanks for giving us a hand . I appreciate it and it was nice to meet you. If you need a extra hand putting on your stuff let me know .

 

Miguel. Check out the local Firestone stores like we said for your alignment. One of the other things I forgot to mention is I believe most of the stores are open on Sundays.

 

It was good to meet you guys! Glad you guys were able to get it done, sorry I couldn't stick around til the end. Enjoy the lift!

AJ, you end up getting your brakes put on?

 

it was nice to meet everyone and thanks to john for lettting us use his place for the install. and grats to miguel (aidenhardcore) for the new lift

however, next time, lets pick a day thats not so cold

here are the pics that i took

stock heigth










leafs coming apart


sway bar off on drivers side


AAL in and leafs going back together. as with any mod day, its always like a union job. one guy is working and 4 dudes are standing behind him watching... well.. i was watching too




passengers side sway bar... WTF? the damn nut locked up and we ended up stripping the allen head. it took about a half hour to get that damn nut off.


right rear done


we got the coils out and took them to a local shop. however, they said that they had to go to lunch first (the whole shop at once ?!?) so it was going to take longer to do the work. next step is to get the stock UCAs off.


UCA bolt coming out


wow... we really bent the metal up... did anyone bend it back when we were all done?


new UCA going in




left rear almost done. it was odd... the bottom of the shocks didnt want to line up with the mount or the hole. it took alot of swearing to get everything to line up




drivers side UCA installed.


rear is all done. wow... that is up alot higher. time for some larger tires


rear heigth




installing lifts always seems to result in cuts and bloody knuckles. ...and john complained that his nut was hurting.... hmm.... you put the wrench on the wrong nut


passenger side UCA installed


coils going back in. it took the shop about 2 hours to do the work and we ended up just standing around waiting on them.


drivers side all done.


tires going back on... we are almost done.


oh yeah... it needs an alignment.


much better


these trucks look so much better when they are lifted


when the truck was on the jack stands we were worried about it fitting out of the garage. it looked close, but there was plenty of room.
all done and rolling out
