ANY LAST WORDS - before I start the lift?

[BHarv]

Alight, I've got all the parts and the wheels and tires mounted/balanced. Now is there anything that I need to look out for above and beyond the directions and basic/obvious common sense to complete this thing?

2007 XS-P, 2WD V6

Lift includes:
(Front)
Maxtrac Spindles (yes 2wd)
Icon Remote Reservoir Front Coilovers
Icon Upper Control Arms
SS Brake Lines
New Lower Ball Joints

(Rear)
Icon 3" Lift Springs
Icon Remote Reservoir Shocks
Extended Sway Bar End Links
SS Brake Lines

Any help on where to drill/tap the bolt for the rear reservoir mounting bracket would be helpful. Possibly a picture of what it looks like installed.

Also, other than spraying the sticky parts (brake lines, spindle bolts, etc..) with penetrating lube tonight is there anything else?

I just measured out roughly where the reservoir was going to be while attached to the bracket and drilled there.

If you got the 2.0s and you're running stock rims, you'll very likely rub the reservoir. The 2.5s come with a longer hose that allows you to mount under the bumper.

Could you mount the reservoir on the underside of the frame right there instead of the side that faces the wheel? The panhard bracket may be in the way, but it looks like it has enough slack in the line.

Diggin that wheel/tire setup. Lehhhgo

I wouldn't want to mount it underneath just in case you get caught up on something or hit something and rip it off. I ended up just putting wheel spacers on to push them out and that seems like it did the job. I haven't really tested it yet though.

Get r done!!! Looks good bud! Post some pics when done for sure!

 

[BHarv]

Much appriciated Drunner. That helps a ton. I'll be running the 2.0s.

I'll make sure to post a few pics when I'm done.

And it begins...

 

[BHarv]

Well it turned out.

295/70R18 - Method Roost -12 offset.

Only issues. The rear Borla dual exhaust pipe going to the drivers side is a little too close to the panhard for my liking but it rides without hitting it so far. Also, had to use the Snap-On diagnostics tool to get any brake fluid at all out the rear bleeders, wouldn't work manually for some reason? The fronts bled fine but had to follow the damn diagnostics directions gimmick to get the rears to bleed.

Aligned fine. Had them put 4* caster in the front (body mount clearance) this morning and the remaining specs are within factory.

Pushed the front fender liner forward a bit and clearanced a bit of the bumper plastic but that seems to have cured the slight rubbing I had initially.

 

[Drunner97]

Looks good. I haven't bled the rears, but my understanding is you need the key turned to the on position for the rears. Fronts are normal.

 

[BHarv]

Sooo how do I rotate those pics???

Also pic of the panhard clearance to the exhaust. Not good.

 

[BHarv]

Thanks man... Yeah we figured it out with a little help with the diagnostics. It was late and I'm dumb.
