Here are a few of my pictures from today after an all day job lift the front, new ball joints,drilled and slotted rotors and also new wheel bearings. basically a whole lot of new parts in the front end.. more pictures will follow.
the back still has the shackles but each side has 2 new leafs in each pack. the shocks that came with the kit were barely long enough to fit when the ground had to actually let it come all the way down to get the bottom bolt even close and with these shocks there is now only 1 inch mayube that it can travel down...
not sure about the rear sway bar as it is very tight now. and also the rear i guess you call it stabilier shock that is almost sideways??
had a major problem with one bolt on the front end for the abs the hole was not frilled correctly in the new spindle and had alot of grinding to do which still didn;t work so to make it work ahd to drill the hole thru and use a nut and bolt...which added an hour and half to my time..
worst part of the back was the damn shocks the top boltts had to remove a flat spare tire which i am leaving out..
