Default Teraflex 2.5 coil and shock lift in install

First off i would like to thank McPuck86 for using his Saturday and helping me install the lift, and using his garage and tools! thanks so much man! also thanks to JrickW and blazenjeep420 for helping out. it took us about 6 hours with a pizza break. everything went real smooth with no hangups. we measured before and after and ended up with 3.25" in the front and 2.75 inch in the rear i think.

I am so glad that i worked on the install, i tried to do as much as i could, and McPuck was getting down and dirty too on the floor of the garage, we wrenched all day. its a great learning experience to see how everything goes together and work.

when we were done we tool a ride around the block and herd some clanging, we forgot to tighten the track bar pivot point bolt at the bottom left, tightened it up and all was good. i drove home about 20 miles and all is good, it rides really nice compared to stock, honestly can't tell the difference other than i am up higher

i cant wait to go test it out.....a few pics from the install day.

Yep! They sure are. There are a crap load of autographed ones down the sides and all my real special ones are across the top. That is a cabinet I built to hide my tools and stuff with mirrored doors for when I use my man cave as gym (which is not very often).

It looks like your rear brake line extender is mounted backwards, I believe the bend goes in, not out.
