testy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Just wondering how the install went and if there were any problems with the kit. I really dig how much detail is put into the parts with all the emblems embedded in the peices. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I am in the process of lifting my '92 Loyale. From what I have seen I would not be afraid of Scott's kit, though I am making my own lift, the only trouble spot you may have is the rear brake hoses. The stock hoses are 7" long, you can get up to 10 1/2 inch hoses in the same configuration, I *think* you might need 12 inch hoses, and all I could find were 14 inch hoses. Other than that it should be pretty smooth sailing, the bolts came out ok on my rusty east coast car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testy Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Well I'll probably choose the SJR lift since Ozified isnt doing them right now according to their website. And the AA lifts have caused a few problems for people on the board. And I think SJR is based closest to Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testy Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Would it be easier to install a D/R before or after lifting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Would it be easier to install a D/R before or after lifting? Out the bottom (swapping transmissions leaving the engine in place) or out the top (pulling the motor)? Before if you are pulling the motor, after if you are going to drop the transmission out the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Oh...........and I found here, when you lift 6", you want to lengthen the steering bit 5 1/4", I'm still working out the shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testy Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Oh...........and I found here, when you lift 6", you want to lengthen the steering bit 5 1/4", I'm still working out the shifter. Im just debaiting wether to go 3 1/2" or 6". I plan to use 28" Super Swampers on 14"s. The 3 1/2" is definattly cheaper which would leave some cash for some other goodies. Scott, on your webpage it says for the 3 1/2 you must modify the radius rods? But it says that is something you do if provided with the part? Which part is that? I need to start looking for a spare set. Also, do you have kits in stock or do you build them when you get orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 To give you an idea of height. I have installed a 6" lift (6" blocks tied together) I picked up 1" in the front struts (the blocks are 7") and about 2" in the back using 2 wheel drive struts. I am up on 31" tires (215/85/16) Opening the drivers door, from the lower edge of the rear of the door, I am 26" off of the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
