UPDATE: I had to take yesterday(Thursday) off from doing my lift to go to Boise and pick up my girlfriends son. So I got back at it today and made a ton of progress. I am currently at my goal of 16 hours and I am not done but I am really close. The front of the truck is almost done. I lowered the differential today and put back on the lower control arms. I took the hubs into 3 different shops to get 3 different opinions and it turns out that I didn't do as much damage as I thought. I didn't mess it up enough to make a difference and should be okay.

Tomorrow I have to put on the new steering knuckle and hook everything back up in the front. I don't imagine that taken more than 3 hours. After I do that I need to install the new aft braces which is actually almost done seems how we got ahead of ourselves during day 1 when taking out the torsion bars. After that we move on the the rear which involves dropping the axle, installing a spacer and a new ubolt.

My current goal is to finish this list with only 6 hours of work tomorrow. I have been taking pictures all along but I still can't find my damn cord to upload them, soon as I do though, I promise you guys will be the first to know.

 

Hammer or gHEMI do you guys know the pattern for the stabilization link for the kit? The hardware pack has 3 nuts. 2 silver and 1 gold. I am sure the gold goes on last to secure the link to the lower control arm but the other 2 nuts make no sense at all. Do you know what the deal is with these other 2 nuts? Perhaps you can take a quick look at yours and let me know the patter or if you even used them. Thanks in advanced!!!

 

Sorry man I don't, the lift was on the truck when I got it. Hammer is the god of dodge so he'll know for sure. Wish I could help you out man.

 

Well get underneath'er and look haha

 

Was so long ago I don't remember. Long been dark here on the east coast. I'll look and snap you a pic in the morning...

 

That would be great. Thanks Hammer

 

The sun glare is so bad under my truck right now that no matter what angle I try to take a pic you can't see anything but glare.

However and I remember doing it now, I used one nut and then cut the excess threads off, leaving about 1/2" after the nut. I remember doing it now because I had the sawzall out due to the cutting of the tie rods for their ends.

Not recommending you do the same, but I did it in '05 and it's been fine since...

 

Why can't i upload my pictures!!!!!!!!!?????????

 

Are you trying to upload them directly to the site or are you using a 3rd party like Photobucket?

Server limits for uploading to the site directly is pretty small, since IB owns like 120 forums. Use a free service to link your pics to...

 

For some reason it is not letting me upload the pictures so if you have Facebook you can see the pictures at:
