I didn't get the d/s done yet....I called around for prices.....I ended up taking all the stuff off that night cuz I couldn't take a chance messin anything up.....being my only transportation besides the Harley!!! I used the stock shackles.....the warriors would have been way too muck!!!

the rear I probably got anout 6-7 inches.....but the leaves would have settled.....so probably would have been 5-6!!

the front....I turned the t bars all the way and I was still sittin 5-7 inches lower than the front!! In the rear....I tried the 4dr. leaves first and that was too high!! I used my stock mono leaves and that dropped me about 1.5.....even then I still had problems with the d/s!!

Well I knew it was going to be some rake....but I was not xpecting all that!! :(....all problems can be corrected!!!

READ THIS if you are going to do a SOA on a 2nd gen 2dr. ex!!! These tips will help!!! --Before you weld the perches on....align the rear and the drive shaft so that they are straight and there is no bend. I mounted and welded the perches parallel to the stock perches...and the rear is...

Well....ordered the perches....they should be here tomorrow or Thurs. I will probably do the lift this weekend or next.....I saw a set of spindled from fabtech on ebay, but they were for a 2wd edge!!! That really blows!!! They only ended up going for $200- maybe I will catch another...

Cool....thx.....do you reccomend doing the rear soa and the front spindles at the same time?? What I mean...if I do the rear first, and then the front.....will it change the angle of the yoke or d/s......I am not sure but I would think no!!??

NICK26.....on the perches....what diameter or radius did you get? I am not sure of my axle measurement.....ive got the 4.0l 6 with a 10 bolt rear.....2wd of course.....let me know!!!

Hey....sorry I couldn't make it but I worked until 9....There were a whole bunch of people from my work down there with thier club called "NO TUBS" they had a black and gold mustang, 2 rail cars, 57 belair, 82 t-bird and many more.....I am going to try to get down there tomorrow!!........Oh...

I will check in my toolbox at work and see how many I have left.......I will get back to ya!!

Yeah.....if anyone needs some 3'' spacers for the body lift.....I have some left over from my kit too!!! Just let me know!!!

I must say....you make it look really easy!!!! And good too!! I appreciate all the info!!!!! I am going to order up the perches today....I am switching my monoleaf for the 4dr. pack so I think they should work a little better!! I think the only other question I have is when you pointed the...

What was the matter with the shocks the way you had them mounted before? Also.....they look like the stock shocks.....you didn't have to change them?

Cool.....thank's man.....when you say you moves the axle up an inch.......what do you mean? You moved the pin in the spring to the hole most toward the back?

Where did you get your perches from, and did you just eye it up when you welded them in place? The only thing that sort of scares me is that this is my evryday driver and I don't want the drive shaft to fall out on me!! would you reccomend having the d/s extended??? Either than that.....you...

OK.......thank you for the helpful information!!!!! It is greatly appreciated!!!!!!! Thank you to all who helped me!!!!!!

Anyone got any ideas on the rear lower shock mounts and the front spindles??

Spas....I hit you back with a pm.......Is the diner on the inside of the beltway? I amsort of familiar with that area.....my friend owns a body shop right inside the beltway.......anyway.........I could bring either the blazer or the X..........decisions, decisions...

On that likk.....which ones should I use? Is the measurement the width of the leaf? Would i have to buy new bolts and stuff or use the stock? Any ideas on the front or the lower shock mounts?

Yeah....it's a 2wd......would i still keep the lower shock mount under the axle or put it above?.....I have foung the perches.....off another x from the junk yard.....I am just wondering what kind of travel shock I should use......any suggestions? I probably will not go any higher after this!!

I don't feel like spending the $1500 + on it right now.....I found a set of spindles online that say they will work for mine.....so that should work.....only problem looks like where the shock bolts up in the rear.....i don't know where I should put it.....anyone with a X with this done?????

What can I do for the front????? Maybe some spindles?? Do they even make them for a 2wd???? I work at a body shop.....so welding is not a problem!! I am just not that great w/dealing with suspensions!! Any good ideas for the front?? What about the shock's?? And what about the angle of the...

Would I have to relocate my shock mounting points? Also.....where could I get the perches from?

Question to all whom are so educated about this.....ive got a 98 sport 2wd. with the 3'' body lift, t/t up front and war 153 shackles in the rear.....just got the 4dr. leaves today.....is there a way i can put those on and do a soa? If so.....what do I need to do the soa??? And will I need...

Sounds good!!! I probably won't be able to get there at 6:30 cuz I work til 6......hit me up with your cell# and I will give you a call when we get there.......how far down 40 is the restaraunt?? Near the Harley store?

it's down in Baltimore at the convention center.....pretty much a car show with evrything from hot rods to imports......theres probably 4 or 500 cars......a couple of guys from my shop are in a club that show their cars evry year......it's a good time!!!

Hey man....if you need help.....I run a body shop in Ellicott city and I did the same thing to my X......there's no point in getting the front brackets made! I did and they were pointless....if you take off the stock ones from the bumper and cut off the flanges on the frame rails.....the bumper...

So then you figure another 1-3 inches with the aal's.....but what about the front?? Ive already got the tt at like 1.5....1.75.....wouldn't that look a little goofy?

Will the 4dr. springs lift it higher than the regular 2dr. springs that I have on there right now? Or is the point of it just a starting place for the aal's?

Yeah.....i'm up for it!! Anyone else????

That suck's......I really don't feel like spending $1000+ on getting this thing higher......I already spend enough on the harley I got myself for christmas.......do 4dr. leaves bolt right up to mine?

DAMN!!!! We should set a date!!!

I have the PA 883 3'' body lift, tt in the front, and war 153's in the rear......i'm sittin about 5 inches higher than stock.....I am thinking about aal's....how much will it give me< and do you think it will look right with the ass end sitting higher???
