thanks ive seen it before just dont like sifting through it.i vote shadowraven do some coilovers then a writeup lol

 

[corkey]

i will get to work on this, i could do it all up,like the instructions in a day, just have to take off a wheel for the pics,,
prices will have to be filled in later i guess, but there is a source for the brackets and the coils available online,

 

[section525]

Yeah. Reading and researching sucks!

 

[corkey]

well, i all fairness to the op Section, there really is no thread that can be followed like an instruction set , like there is for most of the other mods we do,

 

[exsport1211]

thanks corkey.it would be a great help.i have the rcd shock numbers and prices thread which helps .so far i have figured you need the upper and lower mount brackets. weld in the gussets and buy coilovers with 600lb coils.might need some trimming mostly on bumpstops.but cant find info on which coilovers provide how much lift etc.ill need limiting straps and possibly

 

[corkey]

well, the lift is determined on an individual basis, as you crank down the retainer collar the spring tension is what holds/lifts the front end, you have to jack up the front, and adjust , than set it back down and see, than jack up and readjust the springs to get the ride height you want, ,
and the bumpstops have to be cut away almost all the way for spring clearance, so aftermarket or fabbed ones have to be added, ,

Off Road Wharehouse also sells thew coilovers and have a full set of brackets and coilovers if you call them for pricing, ,
