Finally pieced together my lift.
Got my lift done this weekend. i'm running Fabtech coilovers in the front and LC 7 wraps in the rear with bilstein 5125's. i got everything used so i got a pretty good deal on the stuff and a couple friends helped me put it in this weekend. on to some pictures
and some flex shots
for comparision, here is a before shot
everything went pretty smooth. we had the front done in under 15 minutes and the rears took a bit longer but it went well. the only problem i am having is that the adjusting rings on the coilovers are seized so i can't crank them up even though i can definetly get more out of them. has anyone had any experience with the Fabtechs seizing? i had them soaking in WD for about a week and tried heating the ring slowly with a torch. no luck though and i ended up bending the spanner wrench. also, i checked their website and apparently that have a lifetime warranty on them so i am going to call them tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do for me.
overall, i am really impressed with it. i was at 34 inches to the fender lip before the lift and now it is at 36 front and 39.25 rear. for anyone deciding on a lift. i would definitely recommend the LC coils and 5125's. and i would have bought the Toytec fronts but the Fabtechs were free

agreed.. front needs to come up a little or you need to bring the rear down. It looks really good though, so great job! Time for some bigger meats
Did you try bringing the front coil down. When it's seized like that you can break it from being stuck by turning it in either direction and sometimes the other direction might be a little easier. Good luck!
