Anyone wanna help me out?

[Austin w]

I was just wondering if any of ya'll from Colorado wanted to give me a little help when I do my TT/Shackles and 3 inch BL cause that would be pretty tough by myself. Just if you guys have some spare time or anything.

O ya I live in the littleton/highlands ranch area so just let me know if you wanna...\

It would probably be next weekend or spring break (for me the week following next weekend).

Throw some dates out... I'll have to see whats going on, but I might be able to make it..

 

[Austin w]

Alright I will let you know for sure when the kit comes in but probably the week of spring break which starts the 24th, so not next week the week after. Anytime except for wedensday would work that week as I have a Lax game.

 

[Austin w]

Ok, I got the parts in and I started it but would really appreciate a hand finishing my body lift. Anytime from tuesday the 23 (tom), till sunday (the 28th i believe) would be awesome.

I live right around University and Highlands Ranch Parkway.

Thanks.

just what do you need help doing? I've never done a body lift before, I can possibly lend a hand or something but not to a great extent...

 

[Heath]

Yeah, where are things left off at right now???

 

[Austin w]

Right now I have the battery, battery box, intake and spare tire out. I ripped up the carpet and gotten to where the frame bolts to the body and have been soaking it in liquid wrench to get rid of the rust. My big thing is I don't have an extra set of hands to help me with the actual work, plus I think the hardest part will be moving the radiator so any help would be great if you can, if not thats fine though.

I have one question though, do you put the spacer blocks so that it is:

Body
Spacer
Rubber mount thing

or

Body
Rubber mount thing
Spacer

 

[Heath]

You don't move the radiator or batter tray at all... Nor the spare tire... body, spacer, frame...

 

[Austin w]

I just moved the battery tray and intake to get to the body mount bolts, same with the spare just so itd be out of the way.

But there are rubber shock plug things that the body rides on the the frame so what do I do with those.

I know I sound retarded but I don't wanna screw it up and have to redo it.

And I thought you had to move the radiator around after you finished...

 

[Heath]

We just moved the fan shroud on mine... Its working fine so far...

I put my spacer on top of the "rubber thing". Also you have to move the radiator shroud not the radiator. It's worked great for me the last 3-4 years. Spare set of hands is always a plus. I did my body lift by myself and boy was it a pain in the axx. I think it at least doubles and maybe even tripled the time needed to install the body lift.

Just make sure you loosen all the bolts, do not remove them, just loosen all the bolts before you start. It's a really pain when when you get one side done then discover one bolt that won't come out. Good luck

Ok so I could really use some help finishing up my project. The only thing I need to do is to disconnect the e-brake line and to put the actual blocks in but my pops doesn't know much about cars so I'm SOL. If you could just like drop by for a little bit that would be tight.

Thanks.

 

[Heath]

When are you working on it???

 

[Heath]

Matt and I can stop by today for a little bit... Not sure how long though...

 

[Austin w]
