Liftin the runner on Sunday!

[dreadog]

I just got the last of the parts I ordered to do my lift! I`m using a daystar 6 piece 2.5 front/1.5 rear ( Thanks again Falls! ), pro comp es6000 struts in the front, pro comp es9000 extended shocks in the rear, and a diff drop and sway bar relocate kit from toytec for some peace of mind! I can`t wait!

 

[simple]

Wow that thing is going to be a BEAST.

Very nice, I can't wait for the pics and the ride/drive report
:cheers:

Once its all done I`ll post pics, measurements and how it rides! I have an appointment tomorrow to get the front windows tinted to match the privacy glass! The runner has quite a busy schedule this weekend! :dancin:Lol!

No problem , early Xmas present

Are you going to use stock springs ?

I need to go higher . I can't have you parked in my driveway towering above mine .

Want to come down to Chicago and help me install my spacer lift and FJ springs once you are finished up in WI? Lack of both tools and somewhat mechanically inclined associates have been preventing me from installing my lift...

 

[dreadog]

Yep, I'm using the stock springs!

 

[Falls]

How did the tint come out ??

 

[dreadog]

I have to be there at 11:30, and they said it would take an hour! So I'll let you know then! I know they do good work, we use them where I work all the time!

 

[dreadog]

Tint is done! Just have the lift to do tomorrow!

 

[Falls]

hey it's 10:30am ...... you guys done yet ??????

 

[andyman32392]

To go with that tint you need to get a nice limo tinted brow about 6" down it helps with the sun so well.:reddance:

Got the lift done today! It took 5 1/2 hours, it all went pretty smooth. The pro comp shocks and struts ride just as smooth as the factory ones, but they take larger bumps better. All in all I think it handles better! The 2.5in lift with the 1in diff drop left the front cv joints completly straight! The first pic is before and second pic is after!

 

[CJ3Flyr]

:bigok: Looks great!:dancin:

Yeh, those CV angles are about as straight as you can get... That's a nice report on the ride quality of the ProComps.
:cheers:

 

[Falls]

Did the alignment go ok ?

Looks nice , I come take a peek at it .
