I missed that, thanks.

 

I'm very interested in how this comes out, with my body lift I feel like I want to go higher I think it's an addiction now. Use this thread for progress!

 

Its amazing how getting stuck in the snow can change your whole outlookand direction huh?

 

Ordered rear shocks last night, got Rancho RS9000XL. The price on JMR's website was about the cheapest I could find for a set. All though I didn't look too hard.

 

Besides that I figure by getting off the ground some will lighten the amount of rust on it. prob just wishful thinking

So far, got rear blocks/U-bolts, front hubs, and rear shocks delivered.

Just waiting on drop brackets and everything else to get get finished. Shouldn't be too much longer!

 

Got the kit Friday, Got rear installed. And ran in to some issues with the front. I'm trying to remove the cam bolts from the lower control arm (The 2 bolts attaching LCA to the crossmembers). And they are completely seized in to the bushings, I spent nearly the entire day trying to remove them.

Anyone have any tips on getting these out? I don't want to cut the bolts if i don't have to, they are 25 bucks a piece from the stealership, and im sure the bushing are 50+ each as well.

 

When I did mine, there was no chance. I cut them out with a 7 inch cutoff wheel on a 4 inch grinder for extra reach.. One of them actually came out after I had already purchased the 4 bolts. I also bought control arms too. My best suggestion is the to the bolts trying to get them out, without killing the bushing... but also be careful because it can squish the slot the cam slides in, making it weaker.

If downtime isn't a problem, just keep soaking it in PB Blast or other penetrating oil over the course of a few days. Then try again. If you destroy a bolt, I have 1 that's still in great shape.

Oh, and uh...
