August lift party

jeepkj02 · **Posted:** Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:43 pm

My lift is coming together and wondering if I could get a lift party together sometime in mid-august. My 21st birthday is August 12, so just tell me what your favorite beer is and it will be cold and ready for you.

So far my parts include:

- Medium OME Coils
- Rear Ranchos
- Front Ranchos
- Rear Iso Pad
- Front Clevis Lift (Conduit Locknuts)
- Rear Bumpstops (Hockey Pucks)

If you were a little bit closer I would jump right in for the lift and birthday celebration since my birthday is the 18th, my wifes the 16th (twenty years later) :wink:

and our anniversary is the 21st!

jeepkj02 - Happy Birthday (Early , just in case I forget )

I should be able to help, providing I am not doing anything, only one weekend this month is booked for me: The Woodward "Dream about cruising while parked on Woodward" is the 18th.

A couple things,
1. do you have all the necessary tools: jack-stands, etc?
-let me know if your short anything.

2. do you have a shop lined up to compress the springs?
-When I did mine, I had a hard time finding someone to press everything together in the Holland / Allegan area.
Ended up in Fennville at The Tire Shop - Steve was cool about doing the work. It ran me $50, and was well worth it

I have only one floor jack, could be helpful if we had another one. I have 4 jack stands. I a air compressor and a impact wrench with all necessary sockets. Might need a ratchet strap for the strut fork and a torque wrench. Will need to get the springs compressed, I look for a shop, might know one down the street from me.

It all depends on my work schedule and of course when all my parts arrive. I'm expecting all my parts to get here by next week sometime.

That is a 3 hour drive for me. Are there any good trails in or around Toledo that I can use to test my lift out.

its as flat as a pancake around here no trails at all that I know of thats why I leave town every other weekend and go to Southeastern part of Ohio. Just kidding about coming here as I checked to see how far it would be to come up and help you

I need to get you down to my folks farm. Mostly flat, but this time of year we can traverse the Portage River, since it's mostly dry...
