This is what you get...Complete W/ Pictures

...When your an Impulsive, and over excited 18 year old with a wrench, and half a day, and not enough brain cells to think of a game plan. Oh and not to mention half the world going against you trying to get your strut assembled at pepboys... thats better


Well not thinking i decided to start my lift today.. What a mistake. Live and learn i guess. Got the Old struts out, but by the time i made it over to pepboys, the Damn mechanic went home!!!!!! So i have my liberty Blocking my dads roadster in the garage, and taking up the entire drive way, and parts all over the garage!!! FUN TIMES!

Poor floating jeep headscratch.gif

I bet your Dad is really happy with you right now... (Argh)

haha, been there, done that..

What are those red things under the lower a-arms?

Oh those are some crappy jack stands... dont mind them.

How about an update? Any progress?!

Any new pics? Is it still sitting there?

Either his Dad wacked him, or he's out tryin out the lift. Hopefully the latter.

Hahah, im finished with the front, and am going to finish the rear today, because i had no time over the weekend.

Now that's got to make for an interesting departure angle.

I would suggest investing in a set of spring compressors, they work wonders.

No point if you have an advance nearby. They will let you borrow almost any tool you could need for just a deposit.

I do, I'd just rather own my own things...

Be very careful driving that because with just the front lifted you might have redistributed your weight a little. Could affect steering - braking etc like when you're towing and have too much toungue weight. Get the back done asap as you said. I'm not an engineer so I'm just guessing.

I'd rather have someone else let a spring go. However, taking the springs directly to AutoZone or Murrays will allow them to change out the struts in house. They have a sweet machine system that securely compresses the springs, pops the struts out, and decompresses the springs with the new struts. $30 bucks later, 15 minutes, and everything was done.

Finished!!! Ill post pictures probably tommarow. And for the records the rear is way easier than the front!

No measurements, but it looks good, and feels even better!
