All this is is a 2" torsion/shackle lift and a 3" Body Lift. Total it would probably cost about $300 USD.

 

Wow a thread gets closed and now we start calling names... The maturity level just keeps dropping.

We're all over it, you should be too.


Anyways, heres a link to the 3" Performance Accessories Body lift for a 2000-2002 Dodge Durango.

 

sorry moparman, but i tend to agree with srch4me, you are not over it or else you would have never brought it up, now this is the one and only warning that i am going to give, do NOT start arguing w/ me about it in this thread. I suggest you just let it drop at this point or else you know where it is likely to go

 

I spent around $200. $150 for used projectors and clear lenses and $45 for new bulbs and ballasts.

 

Since I work at a place that builds trucks and jeeps, the parts were way below retail. Moparman is correct on the price, but also include enough to cover getting the front end aligned. Plus as everyone already knows, SOAK those shackle bolts in some PENATRATING OIL (not wd-40), a few days in advance and everyday before disassembly.

 

How difficult was the install?


Damn right! I had to rear naked choke my leaf springs and twist the bolt head while smacking the threaded end just to get them out! It took me a whole day just to get those suckers out but I got them. I couldn't find the shoulder bolts so I used some size of grade 8 bolts instead.

 

The morimoto mini projectors are designed to be very easy to install into halogen housings.
The most complicated part is removing the lens from the headlight housing, and even that isn't too difficult. 10-15 min in the oven @ 230 degrees and the glue is soft enough to pull it off. These projectors have a threaded shaft that goes through the bulb hole and gets held in place by a nut. I bought mine partially completed from someone and he had used a dremel to trim some of the tabs for the lock ring off of the back of the housings, but I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary to do this.

If you want to read up more on this you can head over to hid planet, it's an entire forum dedicated to retrofitting hid projectors. That's where I did most of my research and ultimately ended up buying my projectors and lenses.

 

That is certainly a lot of information. It scares me to even think about starting a project like this having no knowledge of ballasts and such.

 

I was in the same situation as you not too long ago. I can tell you that you don't want to use 55w ballasts with the morimoto mini projectors, only use 35w. VVME and DDM seem to be the best cheap ballasts and/or bulbs you can get.
