Damn I need to get me some of those tires, my Firestone destination LE's are more expensive and don't have as nice of tread as those

 

a t/s lift would make your ride look exen sexier! and when you do your shackles, if you decide to go that route, an air chizle will work to beat the old bolts out. i had a bear of a time doing mine. but my d was neglected and the state of the shackle bolts were completely ceased, so i ended up having to take it in to my friends garage where he used an industrial hammer, like a small jackhammer to get mine out. but i love the way it looks now.

 

i had to use an air chisel to get my bolts out. but anyway heres some pics of my rig. a few are from just today. im posting the link because i dont feel like cluttering the thread full of pictues. but heres a teaser

Sorry on the road and can't get pictures to post. So in return go check my cardomain page under lvohotos. Just had transmission rebuilt in KC. HD clutches and torque converter at 139000. How that locker working? My guys said I wouldn't like it as much traveling so much.

 

hey jmess.
in the spring im going to be doing quite a bit to my d, i wanted to ask how hard of a job was it to do the body lift?
were there any special tools you had to buy to do it?
also did you have to replace any brake lines to do it?
like the ones coming from your abs pump to the lines on the frame?
and how long did it take to do that project?

 

I didn't need any special tools other than a floor jack and a block of wood to lift the body. I wouldn't of had to replace any brake lines if mine weren't rusted as hell but the one that snapped was the one off the master cylinder for the front brakes. All together I would have just taken me a full Saturday but I ran into an issue was the steering extension. The steering shaft is supposed to collapse a little to put the extension on the gearbox and mine was seized up. If you look at your steering shaft there's a rubber boot on it. If you slip that off you'll see that the shaft is telescoping. Dodge did that for a safety feature so I you get in an accident then it'll collapse instead of having the steering will shoot at your face

 

ahh cool man thanks! but no other issues with heater hoses or anything like that? and yea my brakelines coming off the master and the abs are pretty bad but all my other lines were replaced befor i got it. but its a good thing to know its not to hard of a job cuz i really want to get slightly larger tires for clearance reasons.

 

Well this thread really slowed down
