The install would have gone great, but it was all the little problems that caused it to take so long..... had to redo brake lines, and a whole bunch of stupid little things..... all in all it took us 12 hours the first day, and 20 the next haha...... way longer than the one i put in my grand cherokee took haha... but all in all it looks great..... now we just have to deal with some minor issues

 

[badash]

what kmak said.. we just ran into some brutal problems, anything that couldve gone wrong, went wrong... lol o yeah and we still need to put the rear shocks in , but for now it looks like i got sweet hydros...

 

[sn0border88]

hmm, brakelines breaking? Who's ever heard of that happeneing. Not at 1am in pottstown trying to finish the install after starting at 10 that morning. :fire: We ran into those problems as well, I would see a grand lift taking longer b/c they are coil sprung all the way around, the rear SOA was a sinch, the coils took forever. And replacing the control arms is no fun, I put a lift on an XJ today at work and the damn things are a ***** to get lined up if its not on a lift.

yeah i followed your build up and finally decided that i couldnt sit by and watch other people have so much damn fun with their lifted explorers!

lol yeah me and a buddy want to get those decals for our truck, or ones on our bumper that says "fat chicks make my bumper scrape"

another good decal I got for my brother who drives a jeep CJ5 is "Suzuki... It's whats for dinner!"
