So I'm pulling apart my rig this Saturday... Gunna put in a rear spacer and some isolators, also changing over to Bilstein shocks

in the front I'm gunna install the RK clevis, boilers top plate, JBA arms and Bilstein shocks

Gunna start at like 8 am

I have a compressor and air ratchet, impact wrench, impact sockets, four 3 ton jack stands, a 3 ton jack, creeper, and a big effin hammer

Am I missing anything?

send me a PM if you wanna join!

this just needs to get done as I start school again in September and I will have no time then, so I want to knock this project out.

I may be able to stop by until 12 and i wouldn't mind at all if you want to start at 7

You should definitely get this. You can find this stuff at walmart and if you cant let me know, ill take a quick drive tomorrow to the one by me and pick some up. this stuff helped us a lot. The only thing this stuff didnt work on was the bumpstops. lol

with the rk forks dont forget the spread the gap a bit before trying to put them on the bottom of the strut otherwise you will never get them in... and also dont forget a rachet strap to tie to the knuckle to prevent your cv from pulling out

Jeepin_it_real · **Posted:** Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:06 am

Jeepin_it_real · **Posted:** Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:07 am
