X-1 got a new suspension 6 inches worth

First off many thanks to Kodiak, Jeff Seal, and Dale Theissen for the parts I purchased from them, everything was in great condition. I have installed a six inch skyjacker class I lift up front, this also included drop swaybar brackets, and quick connects, new brake lines, and a skyjacker steering staybalizer. For the rear I went with 4 inch superlift springs, and warrior shackles, running 4 inch explorer pro comp shocks mounted to sway bar mount, this temp till I get the 6 inch shocks. Total lift was 6 inches upfront, and 6 1/2 in the rear, no driveshaft issues at all The camera was dead this weekend so next week I will get pics up.

Next project, 3 inch body lift to fit those 35's

Also thanks to Hank, all my bushing are daystar, with exception to the rear springs, they came with superlift bushings.

I thought you were shooting for 4".

I went with 4 inch superlift rear springs that I bought from a member here, and added warrior 153 shackles for a total of 6 1/2 inches in the rear.

umm..by the way it looks, I dont think 35s will fit on there, you will be lucky to fit 33s on there...morrisey, I wanna see pics of your truck too..

 

[WannaXP8]

but you still look good..and got more lift then me..lol

 

[Positive Vibes]

Little of the subject but where did you get the handles for your front disconnects?

 

[zensius]

33's will fit. But for 35's you'll have to do a little trimming of the front and or rear of the wheel wells. They're not 35 inches wide!

 

[Kodiak]

Hey looks good. Nice to see the lift on. Glad to see you went with the 6 instead.

Those disconnects look like the ones I made for my ranger did you buy those or make them?

The quick connects I am guessing are clevis pins, I bought some sway bar parts from Theissen, and he thru those in, they work really well, and do not rattle at all. The wheels won't go on till first of april, waiting on the body lift till then, right now will fit 33's with minor trimming of the front rocker panel piece. I will get better pics later this week, I have to resize them. Spent most of the week so far adjusting the front end alignment, looks as though only have to replace 1 bushing. One good thing about going with the 4 inch springs is I can always go 8 inch coils, and do a spring over in the rear.
