bout to lift it

Ok guys so i just got done with it for the day. So far we have run in to only 2 problems and have tires and lift all done on the front. Problem number 1: When we went to look at it this mornin we noticed that an axle seal had busted on the front which is going to be a p.i.t.a. to fix. Problem number 2: My little brother (who isn't so little) torqued up the nut on the lower shock mount and stripped the threads on the ubolt plate where the shock mounts. But other than we just need to torque down all the bolts on the front and the front will be done.

 

Here are some pics.

here it is all stock before we started.

here it is with bolts, shocks, and springs all taken off the front.

my dad was trying everything to get those bushings out and when all else fails....

bring on the torch.

Heres a side view with the 35s on.

And here's a front shot.

Here's a side view from stock.

Ok guys so the jobs finished... almost. Still need to put on body lift and fix those darn axle seals which i'm probably just going to pay someone to do. It looks really good. Here's a link to the pics. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=9151206&uid=4322909

 

That's cool but who's the guy in the picture......and where's his BEER?

 

What did you do about the brake lines?

 

I replaced them with longer ones from skyjacker. I wasn't the one taking pictures most of the time so I don't know why a picture was taken of the rear brake line. Today I'm gonna get that ubolt plate back on and bolt the shock in the lower shock mount. Then I'm gonna torque down everything and put on that body lift.
