Orlando area lift install help

When you get your lift just let everyone know and I'm sure you'll get a bunch of help if you need it. It's fun plus it gives us an excuse to all get together.

 

This is true. After looking at some lifts, i don't think ill go that route just for the simple fact that they're too expensive for me :/ . It'll probably just be a leveling kit and probably wheel spacers

 

rwood, whats your first name?

 

says Ryan under his avatar. Lol just messing with ya.

 

Jon4x4. Im going to guess your last name is torvik?

 

Just got my AAL's in today, 5100's should be here by wednesday!!

 

Nice! My leaf pack and spindles came in today as well, now just waiting on my shocks and the other little pieces. can't wait for Saturday!

 

Make sure you clean and paint those spindles as soon as you can (plus a good clear coat after). You''ll be happy you did in about a month or so.

 

Ok thanks for the heads up. Any particular paint or brand? Also how many coats would you recommend?

 

good idea!

 

I used Rustoleum i think. I think sprayed like 3-4 coats of black and then a few coats of clear after it dried. Then i let sit for a day or two before installing. I taped off the machined surfaces. They come with oil residue on the surface so use some acetone or alcohol and wipe it clean before spraying.

 

Thanks. So basically spray everything but the machined surface, correct?

 

Yes thats what I did. I think a couple people sprayed the machined surfaces but i didnt want to chance it being too tight of a fit.

 

Thanks, I'll get right on that.

 

3869560568 yeah that's better

 

Stupid question i sag to the driver side of my truck with an empty tank of gas I'm thinking to replace my leafs with a little stronger ones or stock I have 2.5 blocks on my leafs for a lift i want to get rid of them and keep the hight I have what to do

 

aal or look for some donor leafs from a junyard

 

You have stock leafs now with 2.5" blocks? You could get some AP Expos, aal(if your leafs are still pretty good) or build your own leaf packs. Theres a thread on here explaining how to do it. I did it on mine to get a little more lift and it worked out well.
