Thank you. I will call them today.

Question. The lift calls for the rear stabilizer end links to be removed and used in the front. Can I remove these without jacking the rear completely off the floor? I can support it with another jack I have but it won't lift completely off the ground.

[QUOTE=nodor;2029461]I'm worried we may have dropped the axle down too low when trying to get the coils in. Is it possible to mess anything up doing this? There doesn't seem to be anything VISIBLY damaged.[quote]

not really and yes, if something is off, you should be able to see it. check your ABS lines to make sure they are still connected to the tabs on your knuckles and check your breather hose on the differential to make sure it hasn't pulled out. aside from that, you sould be fine.

as mentioned, call northridge4x4 and i'm sure they'll have everything in stock and can hurry them out to you.

yes. your shocks might be in the way but, if you take your time, you should be able to still remove the links even with them in place. no jacking will be needed for this.

I was able to remove the the links from the rear; however, when installing them in the front the bolt in the upper end of the link began spinning inside the joint and will not allow me to tighten or remove the nut that I managed to partly screw onto the bolt. Any advice here?

push the rubber boot back a bit and you will see that there is a nut at the end of the stud. you need to put a 19mm wrench here to hold it in place.

This really is what I like about this forum, real world mods, questions and all you guys helping out! I will be in this position in about a month, I have been reading all the write ups and video clips! Keep it up guys!

Agreed. This forum has been incredibly helpful. In my experience other forums similar to this one don't even come close in comparison.

So the front is complete. Can someone point me where to look for a reference with all the factory torques? I searched with no luck.

Thank you.

Lift is done with the exception of the Front Lower CA brackets and final torquing. Currently the front is about 1" higher than the rear. Is this normal? Also the stock rear tires are pretty close to the rock rails and we're still planning to put on 35s. The 35s should still clear it but I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about? Thank you again for all of the help.

It is normal. As you lift higher, the rear axle is pulled forward. If you want to move the axle back, you will need both sets of rear ca's.

Until then, you can just do a little trimming if you need to.

Take a look at the rear coils and see if they are 'bowed'. If so, you might consider something like this:

If they are straight, a small spacer will be needed to level you...
