Just purchased this lift kit and wondered if there were any articles/threads to help with installation. I haven't had the best luck searching for articles on this forum.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Is it normal for the passenger and driver rear shock mounts to be slightly bent up?
The first being the rear shackle for the leaf springs. It was not very clear which way these are supposed to be installed but I think we have it correct.
Secondly, the rear shock hoop mount. My body is off the frame so it's very hard to know how high I need to go up to achieve the 1/2 of clearance from the body. I have a 1" body lift.
Lastly, The old body bushings and nuts. I lost some of them during the tear down. do i need to buy all new?
Update. The install was a success except a couple of hick ups. The first being the rear shackle for the leaf springs.
