Dam bar is right on the pipes
I'm gonna have to adjust that
(where's my jack) hehehehe




Oh and BTW
An Answer to that question of what postition it needed to be at

 

Looking good Rob! I installed my JLP bars on one of the lifts at my shop, it wasn't fun but it wasn't to bad. The part that sucked the most was the metal chip going all over myself. Your truck shouldn't hop all over anymore either Rob. Lookin' good. -Mat-

 

lookin good... and you made it out from under the truck in one piece

 

Looks good Ron.
Glad to see you made it out from under the truck.....now go get something warm to drink.....Its got dam cold out there

Josh

 

Great info/pics Rob

How many of the bolt holes require a 90 degree drill bit adaptor or is it possible to drill them without one?

Dan

 

Thanks all

Dan, I think you need it for both side bolts,
maybe you can get one with a short straight drill.
Of course the bottom bolts can be drilled with a straight
drill if it's high enough off the floor.
But remember it's a 3/8" bit, thats pretty big and long,
at least mine was.

I borrowed my Dads little Makita Right Angle 3/8 Drive Drill,
that left me plenty of room, but I don't see getting a big ***
1/2" Drive Straight Milwaukee in there, even a 1/2" drive Milwaukee Right Angle would be a little tight if you ask me.

Can't wait to try um out, (I'll do that later) if it was only a little warmer, schitt I'd hook up the juice and really throw some torque at it
But I'll save that for next week, I got a Throttle Body on the Way,
IF IT EVER GET'S HERE """"""""""""VINNIE"""""""""" ???????

 

i'll test them out for ya

 

Rob I want to see that truck launch straight now.

No more scaring the crap out of me bud

 

They definetly went to a good home.

Good luck Ron

Nick

 

Rob

now go enjoy the Holidays, (inside)hehehe :santa:

 

Im fixing to be in the market for some different traction bars sine i plan on lowering my truck 3/4 soon. The metco uppper i currently run are not suppose to work with more than a 2" drop like i have now. Should i go with the 58" long bars or metco lowers.

 

Thanks Again All

Hey There's Nick Now "THANKS PAL"
Other than a piece of steel thats still stuck in my eye
AND FRIGGING KILLING ME the install was a piece of cake.

Only Problem is when I took it for a ride, it ocassioanally
clunks from the tail pipes hitting the Bar (I'll fix that maybe at lunch time today)

Racer I think the olny choice you have is a Lower 4 link
or scraping the 58" Bars, bummer........
