Well guys, I spent another day tearing her apart and I put the jounce bumpers with the upper white spacer and black boot on.
The instructions state to reuse factory spring perches, isolators, tubes, and dampers. Their words, not mine. Very vague. So there's still a lot left up to...
I got it all installed, but question: are you supposed to put on the original yellow bump stop with its white spacer? How about the black dust boot?
The Eibach instructions are really unclear. As of now, I just have the spring perch, lower black plastic isolator, top hat, and black rubber...
OK, so I've gotten my passenger side apart without breaking any bones. But I'm running into some trouble! How do I get the bottom spring perch off?
Edit: Nvm! Just pull it over the riveted fastener on top.
That's.. Interesting!! Partitioning the cab kind of makes for a cool storage area, but wouldn't it have been easier to offer seat deleted supercab?
Or just a seat delete for the supercrew? I'm assuming the cab partition is nessesary to conform with regulations? Still, it's cool to look at...
Fwiw, 303 aerospace protectant will bring back that sheen and protect it against further uv damage. Me, I didn't get premium, but I have a soft top. I apply ceramic spray on the linex on the tailgate for uv protection.
Your post does make me regret not shelling out the extra at the time of...
Got my rear installed! Pretty straight forward, tho a long reach jack would have been very helpful.
The Eibach shocks are MUCH stiffer than stock. Compressing them by hand is a no go. I used a ratchet strap to good effect.
There's no need to force the shackle bolts into place, just use your...
For people installing in the future:
The rear shocks are removed with a 15mm socket. Using an impact gun makes quick work of it. The passenger side upper nut is in a channel that makes it hard to put back in. Try to leave it in that channel!
The shocks won't fall out on their own when the...
I have no experience on an ifs vehicle, but when I disconnected my front and rear sways on my XJ, it was pure sketch. I added a front quick disconnect and left the rear sway off and it was fine. The leaf spring rear was plenty stable on road for that vehicle, but the coil spring front needed the...
I think I'll give it a go! At least I know I'll be careful with my truck. Will post updates for future reference as I go.
I've got a nice 1/2" 350ft/lb 20v impact gun and a cheap 1/2" air impact gun.
I think if I double up on the compressors (4 instead of 2), if one breaks I'll be still be...
Hi everyone, I've done tons of reading on the subject but am still a little unsure of how to go about installing my eibach level kit and BDS shackles.
Right now, I'm considering installing it myself, minus the spring compressor death missile part (I'd find a shop to assemble the strut for me)...
I have an Eibach kit and BDS rear shackles sitting in the back of my truck right now.. Figuring out who's gonna do the install. Shackles are another option! No axle wrap!
As far as I'm concerned, USB-A is already dead and USB-C is superior in every way. USB-C PD charging can deliver 100w output in some applications whereas USB-A to USB-C QC3.0 tops out at 36w.
Geek talk aside, I did cut off my left 12v outlet and hardwired a usb-a qc3.0, usb-c pd 18w, with a...
