faubrunner yes the brake lines will need to be extended. I just left the first bracket that attaches it to the axle undone for right now until I get the line extended this weekend.
gonzaga- they're very worn 31x10.5's

The other side was a different story. My boots are both ripped on that side of my axle and the cv's pretty messed up...so basically it would hyper extend very easily, making getting the ball joint back together impossible. After putting together a few good attempts, I finally got it back in (with the help of my friends of course, gotta give them credit)
Oh I did have a little incident when I was cutting the driver's side a-arm...I kinda cut through my shock and it started leaking all over. So I guess I'm going to have to order a new one. Luckily they were only 20 bucks off of summit racing.
GAHHH I HATE THAT STUPID RIPPED CV JOINT BOOT
D*$# THAT PEICE!!!!
I swear we worked on that side forever
Oh ya good job with the shock haha
But finally its done
:bigclap:

Well I drove it around today (to school, work, take some people places) and all I can say is get an alignment after installing the bj spacers ASAP. The steering was HORRIBLE and i was starting to think I had messed something up. I got an alignment and after that it was pretty much perfect. I can tell the torsion bars are cranked over stock but it's bearable. A lot of the problem may be that I'm still basically missing the front driver's side shock because of my little incident 
but the new one is already on its way.
I ordered my manual hubs today so that'll be my next addition as i wanna give the cv's a little break

Is it possible to just use the same shocks that the 80 series LC's use for the swap. I could see where the rear would make sense, but would the front be ok with the 1.5 bj spacer?

How do you like the Edlebrock shocks? Their description makes them sound like the function in the opposite way one would think a shock should for on and off road performance but maybe they figured something out.

I got some more done tonight...a little bit. I know I probably seem like I'm making this a lot bigger deal than it really is, but I'm taking my time because the only other real work on a car i've done was my steering stabilizer and isr mod. Also, it's taking a lot longer because I have to document everything for my project.
I made a bracket for the lspv, took about 5 minutes and works. It's not exactly impressive looking, but I'm okay with a ghetto look.
I also got the ball joint on the passenger side apart, got the studs knocked out (really easy, I thought it was going to be a lot harder), and started cutting with a cutting blade.
Unfortunately the 2 I had ended up breaking so I'm going to have to go buy some more monday. I plan on finishing everything up that day actually.

Ok, I figured out that these shocks are no longer available because it says NA on their site.
I was wondering what other shocks could I get for this same lift???
Would these work?

These for the rear?? Would these be good? and would they fit?? I'm doing the LC coil lift in the rear and 1.5' BJ spacer up front with 1/2 cranked t-bars.
