94 sport 4" tuff country

I finally got a lift for lil' vador 4" tuff country with pro comp shocks...cant afford more tires though, i already have 2 sets...also need to regear it in the near future 4:10's or 4:56 but the trans needs to be replaced first...no 5th gear...been driving it for a year like that... but the transformation starts next week....

-My stuff to do next week-
-4" tuff country lift
-procomp shocks
-32x11.5x15 Dunlop mudrovers or my 31"MT/R's when i have $$$ 33" MT/R's
-warn lock outs.on order....on 2nd pair of auto locks and there trashed
-find a locker for the rear
-lastly GO wheeling :roll:
-in a few weeks....pre runner front fenders and real pre runner bumpers+rock rails, contacted AJ of aj's off road armor so he can use mine as a template for 91-94 ex's bumpers hope it works out!!!

heres a few before pick of right now with the 31"mt/r's

I got the lift today, acually took it out of a ranger at the local salvage yard. i got all drop brackets, 4 pro comp es9000 shocks still very good shape, springs, and now need to buy all new bolts... buy hey for $100 and only 3hours of work dang good bargain.... all i can say is thanks to my Snap On electric inpact, saved me alot of time and knuckles

well I thought that I would be starting to install the lift this week and i was dead wrong... the only thing i accomplished was cleaning and painting the springs, and drop brackets... also bought ubolts $25 at madison spring, and every bolt I need it i got at the local farm&fleet grade 8...and i painted the springs like the fabtech blue...had some blue paint left over and some pearls and mettalics.. I think it is close

my art work...

and got to put these back on..hopefully with new rims....like the almost new goodyear F1 EMT runflats for a vett...8/32's left!!! rich people like to spend unessesary $$$$..and i gotem for nada denaro 0

things I need to get...
-F150 coil pads
-locker---aussie locker
-??? fing out when installing the lift...

I got only the front done today.. had a few snags broke both front shock mounts..had to call the NAPA man.. but over all went smooth..but them darn rivets..got out the torch and the air hammer... I got pics tonight the ones in the shop didnt come out..sorry. acouple did turn out. dang digi camera. Truck looks a little strange with it lifted in the front only. also alighned it and that was a piece of cake.. love the tuff country drop brackets with camber ajustment.. heres the pics

Heres a daytime shot...notice the butt draging....i dont know why people keep staring at me....LOL...hahaha

*Update*Ok... I finally got the rear done tonight..took about 2 1/2 hours..looks pretty level..rear only looks a little higher.. not much with the soa w/o the overload and the front lift... I dont think the front was a 4" they are different coils because the factory color for ruff country is gray and they were redish rust...because the front is almost 5".. I will have to measure the rear..also the drive shaft is the correct length...put pinion up 2.5 degrees..no vibration nothing...posting pics tomarrow gota hit the sack.. o yea i had it all tig welded by a friend..looks amazing!!!

Here it is....

had to mount the old shocks for now...the used pro comps are junk..next week will pun in new shocks..

looks pretty level..about 5" lift all around, a little more in the rear though..
