Before And After Lifted 99 XLT

[99ex22]

quick question, but if i do a 3" BL do i have to change the shocks at the same time? i noticed you have a set of KYB's, that just by choice.

No you dont have to touch any of that...all your doing is lifting the body off of the frame.

I will take a few pics of the bumper tomarrow morning but all I did was take a jig saw and cut around that line above the chrome fog light trim and went straight across to the other side. Then I took 2 self tapping screws and screwd them in on each side of the license plate into the plastic bumper support behind the bumper to make it a little more secure for my lights.

Hey at first before I cut my bumper I just drilled a 1/2 inch or so hole kinda below the license plate on both sides and bolted them on from the back side of the bumper. ( the lights come with harware to mount) But now that i cut my bumper I just have like 5 self tapping screws going through the back of the light into the bumper lol...But it works and they look great!

Here your pictures millerman! It's kinda hard to take pictures of how I did it but I think you will understand after looking at the pics. SORRY ABOUT THE SIZING MY COMPUTER SUCKS!!!

 

[99ex22]

I thought I would post a pic of where I mounted my CB the other day. Again sorry about the size...it was eather too big or too small.

 

[99ex22]

Here take a look at this everybody...it's a honda but it actually doesnt look half bad! and it gets 30 MPG! I was impressed with it anyway. Its got 2" lift springs on it.

do those have factory tire racks on the hatches? and how well do those little cars do off road? i bet they wouldn't be too bad on trails with a small lift and decent tires, judging be they're small size.

I would guess they would do just as good as a 3rd gen off road if not better because of there small size and from what I here the 3rd gens don't do too bad.

 

[99ex22]

Sorry-forgot to answer your tire rack question wrigly! yeah they all have factory tire racks. they usually have a cover on them saying honda really big.

 

[wrigley_1285]

i wonder if there is a way to put one of those on our trucks. it'd be more convenient then a swinging rack.

Yeah that would be way cool. I have always wanted my spare back there.
I think we need to do some research!

 

[wrigley_1285]

you might have to get stronger lift struts to be able to support the extra weight. and you wouldn't be able to open your hatch glass with the tire on there

 

[99ex22]

yeah that's ok though...I never open the glass hatch anyway. the hatch thing...ill just keep a baseball bat in there to prob it up lol it's a good thing to have in there anyway...you never know these days!

 

[wrigley_1285]

that's what a 6 cell maglite is for. you can light thing up and hit stuff

 

[99ex22]

hah yeah i guess your right. either one would work well i think. but about the crv hatch mount i tried to search for it on here but i dont think anyone has tried it yet. I dont know if i want to start welding the back of my truck either considering it only has a total of 2 door dings and one small scratch.

 

[parad1mg]

the CRV hatch rack would be nice to have if your hatch opens sideways.. try lifting a hatch upwards with a 33" tire on it..

Just a thought..

niccceee truck btw
