northguy Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 And save the beer until you're done. It'll go much smoother, and you won't drop the car on your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Beer keeps the temper down when the damn thing won't line up right. lol I say your check list is pretty complete, but you're still short about 12 beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 MOTHER GRABIN RUST BUCKET! 7 friggin hours just to get the rear blocks in! I named this Brat "Rust Pig" when I got it but I had NO IDEA! Every other and I mean EVERY OTHER bolt was so rusted that it friggin broke off or ripped out the welds inside the frame rails. So after 4 trips to the hareware store, 1 trip to the liquor store and a nice nuckle shaped dent in the rear quarter panel the first half is done. And the pay off...............the wife got all steamy about how I looked dirty, greasey, and pissed off:brow:. I should install lifts more often. Well back at it in the morning.

ShawnW Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 That sounds like McBrat's first lift kit install. I was there I can vouch for it. The instructions and the concensus of the board seems to think the rear is easier than the front but I disagree, thought the front went alot faster.

WoodsWagon Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Started my install today, 4/4 EA82 lift. Working the back first, then the front. Got all the blocks in, just need to tighten the bolts. Which way do the strut extentions in the back go? does the U go up or down? where do the long bolts go, into the body or into the nuts? does the U bend in or out? I was getting all confused looking at it. If someone has a picture it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting all confused looking at it. If someone has a picture it would be great. I would imagine the U goes down. cause its a lift!

singletrack Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Cool, just in time! You should drive it down here to pick up those wheels, and we can do a pre-Moab shakedown in Bangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
