July 18, 2011 - Epic Install Part 1


Before...


Ready to go...



Unboxing...

Removal...


Breaking bolts...130k of mileage on them...

Ended up using the portable impact...and then turns out I totally did it all wrong...


2 hours later...yeah really took some bad turns lol...



Then I found the portapower to use to open the suspension to install the coilover...

Also after this it took me 20 minutes to do the passenger side

Here is the before

After


I need to adjust the coilovers. Except I don't have the wrench...I'm gonna see if I can use an allen wrench to move it but the lift is 0.5" higher on the passenger side... I left it with the factory settings which is SUPPOSED to be 2" of lift...but maybe because mine was on 2wd springs and the suspension was so old that I got about 2.75" of lift on driver and 3.25" on passenger. Going to lower it a bit for sure...the ride was so stiff on my road trip this past weekend.


Boy do I have some sagging in the rear
