Just test fitting the passenger front OME/Bilstein and have the Boiler's shims and 2 conduits in. This is my first IFS job ever and not really sure about the CVs. Is this pushing it with a 2002 with the original CVs or do many of you run older KJs even higher without issues?
I will be putting in JBA 4.5s as soon as they get here and the ARB is just getting started today. Hoping better UCA geometry and a bit of settling with extra weight will keep CVs at a bit less extreme angle eventually... but until then should I worry at all or watch for anything?
(Thx to Mudd and TJKJ posts and sticky this install was a lot easier than I had thought - perhaps driver's is a bit more challenging. Thanks again y'all!)
The ratchet straps, and stuffing a socket in the clevis pinch make this much less painful. Have another pic somewhere using the ratchet straps at the end to pull a bit towards the frame, just hooked them around the frame rails and midway down the clevis so hands were free to push, insert a tapered punch and wiggle in the bolt.
Mind you also have another pic of the return spring in the ratchet strap after it exploded out - thank God for $2 goggles. Guess it didn't like being ratcheted right into the frame rail... stil works fine just no clicking and a bit harder to reel in.
