no i kept the shocks from the last lift..........
dont have the extra cash.

 

got the shock out,,,,, now i cant get the mother freaking spring to go back in to the freaking boot and lower a arm any ideas?

 

Make sure you have that lower control arm as far down as it will go. You may need to rent a coil spring spacer. I dident need one when doing my 2 inch spacer but your spring and setup is prolly different. What i did was get the top of the spring in first then use my foot to press down the lower control arm as far as it will go and put in the spring.

 

then how did you get the spindle to go back to the upper control arm? a floor jack?

 

yes maam

 

Should it be this tight ??




ill get better pics tomorrow

 

who makes swaybar spacers for our trucks? I think i need some.

 

bro i cant tell by those pics. do you have a gap between the control arm and spindle? it kinda looks like it?

 

thats the ball joint....... and there is a 1/4" inch gap between the end of the control arm and and the side of my tire.


im a med student and nothing puts me under stress, but this is working on my nerves...

 

Whats your backspacing in the rims?

 

what ever the stock backspacing is for a 17" rim

 

You may want to get some wheel spacers to increase the gap between the tire and control arm. But if nothins rubbing it should be alright.

 

i plan on buying new wheels and tires in about 6 months, 20x9s with 37x13.5

 

nice. Always better to get wheels with less back spacing than wheel spacers. even tho im running 2'' wheel spacers and wheels with correct back spacing for my truck. ( i like my wheels sticking out the sides a good bit)

 

im lookin at 4.5" back spacing
