December 22, 200916 yr Ok, one last proposal for you guys, let me know what you think. .... Fine with me, whatever is best for you. I'm still stoked no matter when it comes!
December 24, 200916 yr Author Well, still no bolts yet so I am quite irritated over that, hopefully they will arrive before new years though. The lift blocks are finished though The strut blocks are marked with a P and a D (passenger side, Driver side) and an arrow that should point to the front of the car when installed. Most of the other blocks are completely interchangeable left or right, any that arent will be marked. I will get this kit on the scale tomorrow and get a shipping quote and then its just a matter of waiting for my damned metrics to come. -Bill

December 24, 200916 yr Author what bolts ( size and length and pitch )do you need? They are in transit, they just have not arrived yet. They are Metric bolts, an assortment of M10x1.25 and M12x1.25, I plan on including all new Metric bolts to replace most of the old ones that get removed when the kit is installed, the bolts I ordered are EXACT replacements for the factory bolts (lockwasher and flatwasher pressed onto shank, smaller JIS heads) and are aparrently VERY hard to get, at least in my area... For the most part you *could* re-use all the bolts that get removed, with the exception of the 2 that hold the front of the diff, the stockers are about 4 1/2" long, and with the lift they need to be about 1" long. -Bill
December 24, 200916 yr Author Ok, shipping will be $70 anywhere in the lower 48. Im PM'ing ya'll my Paypal info now Scott, how do you wanna do the trade? -Bill
December 25, 200916 yr I'll pick mine up from you after new years. Great work bill! You should send out some decals with the kits so we can represent BOSS lift kits. -earl Ok, shipping will be $70 anywhere in the lower 48.

December 26, 200916 yr Author I'll pick mine up from you after new years. Great work bill! You should send out some decals with the kits so we can represent BOSS lift kits. -earl Well, I would, but I dont have any made up yet. But I do have some in the works, Im thinking of mailing them out to ya'll free when I get them made -Bill
December 27, 200916 yr I was messing around today and came up with this design for your decals. Feel free to use it as is or as a jump off point for something else. My gift to you free of charge for coming up with the greatest Gen 1 lift of all time!!!!
December 30, 200916 yr Author Alright, bolts I am told will be here today, so these well get shipped out next monday, as today is my 21st birthday and I have a lot of stuff to do Thanks for being patient ya'll! -Bill
December 31, 200916 yr Author Well, Im done with Fastenal. Bolts came in yesterday like they said, but they were not even close to what I ordered. Im extremely sorry that this has taken so long, but Im going to ship the kits next week with or without the metric bolts. What I will do is send the kits with the Grade 8 USS bolts, and when I get my Metric bolts from a different supplier I will send them in a separate package, no extra charge, I'll ship them at my expense. Im really terribly sorry about this, I was hoping to have these shipped a long time ago, but I cant control the vendors I have to deal with -Bill
December 31, 200916 yr To save you some shipping costs, you don't have to ship mine until the bolts come in. I still have to find a set of rear discs to swap over and then do the 6 lug swap and get some tires!

What do we do for lengthening the Rear shock? Thanks. -Daniel
January 21, 201016 yr Author Bill, Got a question... What do we do for lengthening the Rear shock? Thanks. -Daniel Take the stock shock to the parts store, and tell them you want one 4" longer. You might have to use a large hammer to beat the bumpstop mount out of the way to clear the new shock because it will be at a slightly different angle than stock. -Bill

That would be great for the rear. Oh Also, if anyone finds one that fits please post! -Daniel
January 24, 201016 yr Author These kits will be $350 when I start making the again, Im waiting until I get this bolt thing figured out before I make anymore, when I do I will let you know. -Bill
