Low Range Off-Road will be shipping the assembled OME struts, springs, and new top plates tomorrow. The rear shocks and coils were out of stock, and will ship directly from ARB in a couple weeks. Longer than I wanted to wait, but I thought I'd get one final picture of how low she is before I do the install. The sag actually doesn't look too bad, I suppose. Im a huge fan of how it looks without the running boards. After the lift, I don't know what ill do next. Every bit of money I have put into this in the almost-year that I've owned it has been for what I feel it needed, not the things I would have wanted to do first. Heres what Ive done so far:
Fel-Pro valve cover gaskets
OEM PCV valve/grommet
New front Duralast rotors (I know), with OEM pads
Rear OEM drums, shoes, and hardware done at the dealership
Right rear axle seal (to include ABS rotor, bearing, and all other recommended parts). All OEM parts except for the Centric bearing that came with the truck
New OEM center arm rest since the old one was split
OEM battery hold down since there basically wasn't one when I got it
Had all 4 wheels spun and balanced if they were off
Theres probably more, I just can't think of them
All suspension parts were said to be in great shape when it went through PA state inspection last October. Every single time it has been serviced I get compliments on how clean it is underneath. The only rust to speak of is on the metal surrounding the gas tank, and one spot on the hatch under the paint that will be corrected soon. In about 100 miles I turn over 275,000 miles on the ticker. It absolutely blows me away that I drive this thing daily without any worries of whether or not it will start. I attribute that to the fact that it was very-well maintained throughout its life, and the fact that its a T4R. Once I get the lift on I will most likely start a build thread since the lift, for me, is essentially breaking the seal. Mods will come much faster from here on out. Let me know what you guys think, or any suggestions for mods moving forward. Thanks!
