Bilstein 5100, Spydertrax, and cornfed spacers

[Atx4runnertrdpro]

Had a friend install a lift for me in his driveway. He did most of the work while I learned as much as I can. Looks pretty straight forward once you commit and know what you are doing. It took him about 2.5 hours but he could have finished an hour sooner if he wanted to. Enjoy the pics!

The other side

Now starting on the rear. The rear looked easy and all took about 30 minutes.

You used a press on the front strut coil?
wow....

 

[Atx4runnertrdpro]

The axle was left to hang so the rear spring could be taken out. The corn fed spacer was placed on top of the spring and bolted down onto the stock cone that is to be reused. Then reassembly with the new bilsteins.
