Over the last week or so, a couple nights a week after work, we've been at it. Joe & I have spent about 10-12 working hours to get to the point we're at (half of which was removing that damned front bumper)
Right now we have the front hangers mocked into place and held with 3 bolts. The rear of the springs are resting on the frame for the time being. After getting the springs mocked into place, we noticed the driverside sat 1" - 1.5" higher than the pass side, and we discovered that we put 1 spring in "frontwards" and one in "backwards"
At least it's an easy fix
Enough chatter, here's the pics:
The old center pin broke off inside of the spring perch. That was fun
Yeah, the body lift needs to come out....
No ugly bumper
We start back up after Memorial Day! We will get the driver side spring turned aruond the right way and get the front hangers completley bolted in, and get the shackle hangers moved. Then I can measure and order my driveline and give Trevor at WFO the measurements for my draglink. After that, we iron out the other details like front shocks, etc.
More pics to come then...
