BODY LIFT DONE/

Sorry guys, I have no picks of the process. I was soo in to doing the lift i forgot. I had my two friends help me since i am still a noob haha. But anyways, the lift went great. Got all of the mount bolts out super easy. Only thing we had trouble with was after we had finished the truck was leaning to the right, but it actually ended up straightening out. Which was a relief to me.... But i bought the lift from a friend for $50.00. so i have no brackets for the bumpers.

After the lift was done i added the roof rack.
I was rolling on 28s and stock rims for a while. The lift was done in July, I just got my 33s two days ago. Woops lol.


Putting on the tires was easy. But when i started to make a turn... well you guessed it! RUBBING!!!! WOooooooo. I had my girlfriends dad come over to give me a hand. He is an autobody mechanic. Anyways. I got smack happy with a sledge hammer on the front bumper and we used a sawzall to cut the fender back a little but. Then we bended the bare metal back, and cut the liner inside.

The day after my friend and I installed the warrior shackles. THANK GOD. My old ones were shot. It was a little bit scary seing how corroded they were. The shackles were a pain to get out. Especially one of them. The passenger side bottom bolt would not come out. took us an hour to get it out. I used a ratchet and my friend used a hammer. it worked. So i was happy with it. The new ones went in no problem. Now I just need to do the Tortion twist.


a litttttle rusted and corroded don't you think?

ahhhhhh much better.

trimming, i will post better pics tomorrow.

Looks really good.

I like the new MTRs, but they don't have the size in need in a 15" rim

 

[feared100]

Thanks [MENTION=71]Rick[/MENTION] !!!!!!! And ya I really like the asymmetrical tread on them. They ride great. I just need an alignment. When I go above 60 the steering wheel starts to shake.

 

[bats]

Those tires are the sex and it looks like you only had to do minimal trimming with your lift combo.

The Ruasch trip is on a Monday? Arg, if only I wasn't going to Freeland that weekend.

 

[feared100]

[MENTION=125204]bats[/MENTION] ya I think that's when it is. I plan on going with a couple of friends another time maybe. I will let you know. And the trimming wasn't too bad. I just need to get the brackets for the bumpers.

Also I am going to try and see if I can mock up a jk rear bumper to fit my truck.

I just happened to see the truck in person. Damn this thing looks beastly. (Just gotta take care of those bumper brackets!)
