..i'm lifted!

big thanks to sn0wrunner for giving me his old coils and thanks to Brad and Duhockey for helping me with the install.

everything went pretty smooth. we had the front done in under 15 minutes and the rears took a bit longer but it went well. i still need to crank the coils up some and put in the diff drop. ok on to the pictures

Awesome dude! Of course now you can't represent the 3rd genners in the 5th gen challenge this summer...but who cares!:bravo:
 
thanks guys. i'm pretty happy with it and it rides so much better now that the dead stock suspension is gone. just incase anyone is wondering. i have fabtech coilovers in the front and landcruiser coils in the rear with bilstein 5125's. it was about 34 inches from the ground to fender at stock height (maybe 33.5 in the rear due to sag) and now it is 36 front and 39.25 rear. so i definitely need to crank the front up some and the rear should settle a bit. plus this whole thing cost me like $170 so can't beat that. :guitar2:
 
looks really good. can't wait to see it after tires. and the 3rd gen family kicked in to help. nice to live in CO, huh?

something like that. Brad knows what he is doing



sn0wrunner gave me his old front coilovers, LC coils were $50 at a salvage yard, picked up the bilsteins were $85 used, and the diff drop is $30 from toytec. the front coilovers are the expensive part normally

Wow, good for you!! Do you think the rear will settle a little? It looks great but it might look a little better a little lower in the back. Kinda reminds me of my 75 Firebird with air shocks. Damn, I miss that car, lol.

yeah the back will settle a little but i still have to crank the front up more, i can probably get another inch out of the front
 
congrats man. not to dog you but the rear rake (as on now) is a bit to serious for my taste. once you get the fronts cranked and the back settled itll look great. what tires are you going with? also, is your bumper missing a piece?

yeah i kinda agree with you..i guess i'm cool with the rake..i just want the front higher :D. i'll post some more pictures once i crank the front up a bit.

not 100% sure on the tires. the Duratracs look good. i think its between them and the KM2's. i had the BFG AT's and they were pretty good but i think i want something a little more aggressive.

and yeah the TJM is supposed to have some side wings but mine didn't come with them..can't complain since it was only $50
