Hey, it cost alot of cash, so im calling it a g damn project! Im currently waiting on my new upper control arms, radflows, shackles, shocks, and bump stops. Im also going to be installing the Gobi Ladder. Ill attempt to do a how to for all of them with a little more detail. And also provide before and after measurements and ride quality/impressions. Ill be taking the top gun spacers out and im still unsure of wether or not i want to upgrade to a full set of deavers or leave in the mini pack.
Well, six hours later and the front end is on, with no issues or trouble........kinda scared me i didnt have any problems. Ill do the shackles tomorrow, yippee i know.
What i want to know is this. How EXACTLY do you turn up the radflows in the front end? I know i have to use the special "tool" that came with them, but does any one have some exact directions?
Well g. damn. Some bolt removers later, and im finally done. I came back into my place and bent over to untie my shoes and the dog was so excited that she jumped up as i bent over and smashed my head. I have have a large lump, thanks dog. So im going to take her to the park, snap some of the usual photos we all post of the same stuff we have seen posted a million times. But first, here is a photo of dinner, just after the lift was done.
Tammy can still leap into the bac k of the X with no trouble.
And yes, i know it needs to be aligned. Its going tomorrow on my break to firestone. When i called them today to make the appointment they got excited. All those people that work there know who i am by now, they love that X.
Looks good.... your tires are starting to look smaller and smaller... but still looks nice. Where are the pics of the ladder?? your title says you have a ladder... you are a LIAR!! You hear that... LIAR!! now go put a damn ladder on your truck, I dont care if you have to go to Home depot and put a step stool on that thing.... I want steps! :laughing3:
Actually, it rides alot stiffer than it did with the top gun spacers and only the deavers. But now that the shackles lifted the rear i can tell i have stiffer rear shocks. And the front doesnt compare. I actually like the stiffer front end. So id say it doesnt ride like it was stock. But it still has a great ride.
And the f -ing ladder should come this week along with the new lift gate shocks.
WOOOOOOOOOOO! No outside for me. I live in an apartment, but i have my own garage, and its actually really big. So i have all my crap in there. Free electricity as well. The apt complex fix-it-guy showed me a plug in the cieling i could use, no charge to my apt. So i actually was pretty warm. Last night i feel bad for the people who share a wall wtih my garage, i busted out the sawzal for the uca bolt. But it went quick. Reason i live on the third/top floor. I want to be the a-hole making the noise.
Im on the fence about new tires. I could go out and buy 5 new tires of a bigger size right now. But do i really need to? Nahhhhhhhh
