Yes, Just been too busy, I'll get them up this weekend if not sooner. It looks soo much better.

ive been looking at doing it for a while, as soon as the lawyer is paid off, im getting a set from JD, ive heard good things about them and their return policy. not so happy with the blue tho but ill live with it. cant wait to see them pics and cant wait to do it my self

 

[nak4af]

Sorry for the delay guys. Going to get pics right now.

I had to add a little height to even the wheels and also allow room for alignment. I need to add only a .5 to 1" lift for the rear via shackels. Where to find shackels that high? Don't want to buy Warriors and cut them down. Anyway...on to the pics.

It's a lot easier to work on the exhaust now with all that extra room. It looks so much better from the side now. Bumps are much more tame as well.

 

[SwaintaN]

looking good, hope mine looks as good! used it off roading yet? like it better? what about dd see a diff with that to?

 

[nak4af]

There is NO off-roading here in Nebraska. I will not be here forever so I'm getting it ready for when I retire and go back to the good 'ol South East.

For now, it is my DD since I don't have an engine in my other car. It does drive a bit better but can't really give an apples to apples comparison. When I bought the truck back from the previous owners GF, I had to replace the whole steering set-up and re-tighten and re-pack the bearings.. I hope to get the Duff upper coil mount to utilize the dual shock these arms are capable of. The shocks I have are maxed out so off-raoding will not give me my full wheel travel potential. Plus I need longer brake lines now.

yeah i want their dual set up when i get the ext arms, ill just buy two more RC nitro shocks for the front. already got my ext ss brake lines on, came from Procomp

 

[nak4af]

If you have the extra coin, definatly save on shipping buying together. How much did the brake lines set you back? PICS?

 

[SwaintaN]

105 that included shipping and handling. for 2 front and a rear, ill got get some pics of the brake lines them self right now

 

[nak4af]

Luckiy l I have enough room on the rear but I bet stainless lines help the braking feel over the stock POS's.

eBay or the Store

Rear, yes that is a garden spike as a bracket!

Had to undo the bracket for the back, they had the holes on wrong side, so just had to move the hose.

under normal circumstances or reg in town slow driving, didnt notice a difference, however after muddin, fieldin, or driving at 75 mph for like 2 hours, yes a difference

 

[SwaintaN]

how hard was the ex arms to install? i have limited tools and knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff

 

[Foxracin]

All you need is a drill and basic hand tools. No special tools or anything like that.

 

[SwaintaN]

from what i can see, its disconnect the shock, drop the axel, take off top and bottom bolt, old cross member and bolt in the new?

 

[parli22]

Nice pictures and great explaination on installation

There top bucket dont use the same shocks as stock so the shock you have will not work,dont buy expensive shocks if you plan on going to their buckets
