Hey there.... I have finished the SOA yesterday and at this time I'm taking the front end apart. I bought my lift kit used and it's missing a few parts. Pretty much all the missing parts were ordered yesterday but I still have question regarding the front coil springs... are there any coil spacers that come with the lift that go under the coil springs? Do I need anything else except the stock large washers and plastic sleeves?
thanks,

The stock stuff under the coils will be just fine, you won't need anything else
 






super duper.... I'm taking everything apart for now..... major PITA.... those bolts are in there good...

did anybody have any problems getting some of them out? today I'm gonna tackle the ones that mount radius arms to the axles... sounds like fun.

I'm taking it slow.... I've got time till the end of the month and not all the parts are here yet...
:(
 






Dang Dre, wish I had known you were doing a Skyjacker lift, I have the front drop brackets and rear 6" leafs from a Skyjacker 4"/6" lift sitting on my other B2 in IA collecting dust! The only parts I sold off it were the rad arms and crossmember.:(
 






don't say that!!!! I just ordered those drop brackets from Rocky Mountain.... these were like $50 a piece....

man... what else do you have that I might need for it???

BTW... I didn't put 6" springs in the back.... SOA baby!!
 






I got the complete Stage II kit, minus the Rad arms and cross member. Need extended sway bar links? I got them at the house, never been used. Drop pitman arm? Also has the Skyjacker single srering stabalizer(not sure if that is good though). I got all four shocks too...
 






I might want the drop pitman arm and front sway bar links if he doesn't.

Let me know
 






you can have it all..... I bought all those pieces from Rocky Mountain.... should be here next week.


I should of asked before buying though...
:(

sway bar.... who needs it anyway?
:D
 






How is the condition of the shocks? I will be running a total of 8 shocks on mine and my front ones are beat up. Oh and what are they brand? Shoot me all the details of the shocks, how much, brand, lift ht used for etc.
 






I'm gonna have two front shocks available too.... used Skyjacker shocks for 6" of lift in good condition...

BTW - major PITA getting things apart... looks like I have to use my angle grinder more often...
 






I might be willing to take those shocks off ya if AKJack doesn't want them. Was hoping to get a matching set for the rear (soa) and front 5.5, but if the price is right...
 






Syjacker shocks with red boots... $20.00 plus shipping...
(price for both)
pictures coming up...
 






Aha youre too fast for me Chris.....Dre if Chris doesn't end up getting them I'll take em. With mounting a toal of 8 skyjackers I want to have some spares around.
 






AKJack, like I said in my last post, you showed the first interest in those shocks, so they are yours if you want them.

I will take them if you don't want them though
 






Well to be honest I was calling dibs on Splashmans set of 4 skyjackers, and we have worked out that deal.


Then Dre said he had two and you called dibs I was just calling second dibs if you passed.
 






here are the shocks.... I decided to drop the price to $15.00 - a little less than first anticipated... Alaska is pretty expensive to ship stuff to...

Wow!! must be salty near you. Do you live near the Bay?
 






salty? you can say that again... I bought my lift from a guy in Nebraska though... shocks look better than in the picture... I just figured that I should order complete new set since I had to order rear ones anyway...
 






I'm gonna pass because I really want to match my front and back. There yours AKjack
