Lift Party coming up?

kjjames · **Posted:** Tue Sep 26, 2006 12:14 am

hey guys-

I'm fairly new here and it's been less than a year since
i've had my KJ...but I'm lookin to lift my Libby already
and put some new meats on it. i'd like to do this before winter.
i'm gonna be ordering the Frankenlift in about a month
or so. If anyone from the Chicagoland area would like to
have a lift party...i'm game for supplying food/beer/and a
few bucks to whoever could help me out. I really want to
get the KJ ready for the non-pavement come springtime.

Hey..Pixeldzn...i'll take ya up on your offer when i get my lift!
thanks man

Kinda short notice but LostRenegade and I are planning on something this Saturday. I have a lift + discos and he has some strut plates that need replacement.

We are in the Ann Arbor area.

You just let me know when that baby arrives. We''ll have it on in half a day, easily. I know all the tricks now that I've done a couple and made a couple repairs.

Keep in mind we will be in Kentucky the 7-9, so that weekend is out. Looks like it'll be after that anyhow. Maybe you can get it purchased in time for the halloween run and you can settle it in at the Badlands. :twisted:

Keep us apprised!

The Frankenlift gets back ordered alot. Mine took 4 weeks to arrive. So order it as soon as you can.

Pixel & KJ-Bol- when could we do the install?
i'm free any day after Oct 14th. KJ-Bol..are you still tied up through Oct? i can meet you guys wherever too
or i've got a garage too if that's an option.

Also
1) what do i need to bring/have other than the obvious?...i don't have all the tools but could get them if i need to.
2) Tires-...should i wait till after the install to get new tires put on?
3) does anyone know if you have to order the brake line relocatoin bracket for the 06KJ's?

thanks guys...

Apprised? Apparently your vocabulary is beyond my own. I had to look that one up :oops:

I guess you learn something new everyday.

I think you do need to brake line relocation bracket for the 06's

pixeldzn · **Posted:** Fri Sep 29, 2006 2:14 pm

I would call Quinn at All J and ask about the relocation bracket.

Def. Wait until after the lift is on to to the tires. You can get an alignment at the same time then and won't have to worry about pre-lift rubbing and what not.

Where in the area are you located, BTW?

yea actually i talked with him for a bit and he said he wasn't totally positive on the 06's needing the bracket.
he said i could tell if i checked behind the rear tire and to look at how the brake lines were going to each tire.
i guess i'll try that. i think it might be only on the KJ CRD that it's needed.

cool..ok i'll plan on the tires post-lift! thanks man. uhh i'm in Worth which is like Harlem Ave and 111th street--
about 22 miles southwest of downtown. i can go wherever though.

I will be slightly torqued tomorrow after my install (with Eddo) if I find out I bought a $30 bracket for nought...

hey Moose,
i pretty much confirmed with the guys over at All J that you don't need the bracket. they said only for the CRD.
sorry man. How did your install go?

Pixel and KJ-Bol,
they're shipping my Frankenlift today!.. :lol:

any dates in mind on when we could do the install?

pixeldzn · **Posted:** Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:42 pm

I can help you the weekend of the 14th. The weekend of the 21st is my little one's bday and the weekend of the 28th is the badlands run.

I can't see that. At full droop you'd pop the break line...
