kind of.
skyjacker apparently gave the wrong hardware.
the front bushing install the instructions sucked - so we made it up to get it done and im gonna call them tomorrow to see if we did it right - or if the parts they gave me were wrong altogether.
the rear.. they didnt give any of the bushings for the new rear swaybar end links to go in. so im running without the swaybar attached in the rear...
again going to call them tomorrow.

its nice and all i got the first kit they made... but it sucks that the kit didnt have what i needed after we got the truck apart... (everything seemed ok until we went installing it.. we had the right amount of bushings in the correct colors for everything.. just not any of the right stuff after we tried using it - or some of the right stuff.. or whatever)

im just glad i have the 4runner to drive till i figure this all out

and pics before/after and a few install ones when i remembered to grab the camera.. when we werent figuring out the stuff that was wrong in the kit LOL
BEFORE:


stock suspension


sway bar end link removed


strut unbolted at bottom


after alot of agrravation.. and cursing at skyjacker... and just deciding to do what looked like the best option.. skyjacker strut installed


spring hitting UCA (at full droop) because were not 100% sure we got it all right, but its the only way it would have worked


using factory bushing on top even though skyjacker gave one.. but it wouldnt work any way we could figure it out


lift fully installed












and for the sake of humor for you all... this is what happens when una works on things with her feet criss crossed (note the duct tape around ankles please)

 

nice, it looks good, hopefully it'll all get worked out in the end. the last few are pretty funny too

 

nice one una whats up with the duct tape...is it some sort of fetish youve got when youre wrenching?...thats hot

 

no duct tape fetish... however a girl... wrenching.. in camo.... how could the guys resist duct tape LOL

 

looking good hows the ride?

 

Thats awesome...are 33's or 35's next?

 

shes already got 33"S (see pics silly LOL)
it actually rides pretty good! a little bit stiffer, but still really comfy

 

wow, its almost easy to think that your after pic is what it should have come like factory, it looks awesome

 

Those after pics makes your FJ look like a little monster. Nice.

 

thanks guys!
Ill get some better pics once everythings all installed

 

Hawt... but that lower skid plate looks so out of place.

 

i agree. it looks very good, but that skid plate needs some work. maybe adding another piece to extend it, or get rid of it and fab up a new one. either way, thats a really good looking truck.

 

Nice job on the Lift!! Looks real Good!! Can't wait to see it in action!!

 

yea i know the skid looks outta place.
however it is protecting *ahem rock lights* currently.... so I have to figure out a way to remount that before i get rid of it....
