These pictures are too big to expand.


This is the stock and 1 1/2" lift shackle below;

Here it is again;

2000 Ex 4WD 160k miles;

Doing one side at a time;

Yep, it's me

The little 6 ton jack got a workout today;

I had to drop the sway bar and pull the shock tops;

You will need a little jack like this to fine tune the spring height;

The little jack is on the bottom here;

This is the drivers side and I had to loosen the 4 axle u-bolt nuts to get the spring to line up.

The bump stop only had 1/2" clearance but now it has 2";

It looks level to me, I measured at the bottom of the windows and it was the same all across. I don't have a before picture but it was 1 1/2" lower in the front;

Here it is again with Mt. Shasta in the background. I'm looking forward to plowing into some deep dips and the soccer-mom ride is fully retained.

 

Bravo, nicely done Brent! Great pics too; though we expected no less. Hopefully it wasn't too cold out there - looks like the snow was melting today.

 

Um wheres the pics ?

 

Hang on guys you responded as I was working on it. It posted before I was all done. (probably because I edited it half way through). The pictures came out too big but Pbucket is not working with My windows 8 so I went with Imgur........seemed to work. Go back again.

 

Looks awesome. and on a side note are you front mudflaps mounted on the wrong side ?

 

I don't know, I just got some cheap universal ones from ebay and screwed them to the fender well. They stick out about 3" but they keep my running boards clean.

 

Good work! Hope she ended up like you wanted her to!

 

That is a beautiful background for working on your Ex. Sure beats the cornfield backdrop of the midwest. Nice photos

 

looks great! really helped the stance of your truck. i know i love my shackles and i've had them on going on 3 years! part of me likes keeping the stock springs. i never did loosen the shock though.

man, doing it outside i admire your will power. i love having a heated garage with air tools and a awesome sound system to do my projects.

glad you got some pics up, i love white and you live in a beautiful area!

 

The new Monroe -matics extended an inch before full body height. It wasn't that cold but my legs kept getting in the snow.

 

Take a look at Brent's signature; they're custom.

 

Yep, I cannot lie.

 

Dangit I missed that part...

 

Bumpety bump

 

Looks good - what kind did you go with? I may be doing this soon - down to an inch of spring travel as well.
