looks good. those springs should settle a bit once you drive them a round and twist them up a bit... can't wait to see some wheeling shots.

 

Wow, that thing is high!

Thanks for the pic of course.

Mike, do you think 4'' springs will be OK for 33's? I'm worried about the tires looking small for the lift...

David

 

since mine will settle a little bit i think it looks fine how it is for awhile with 33's ill get 35's or 37s when these 33's wear out but i think it looks fine for the time being

 

David, 4" springs might be a little tall for 33s... i'll PM you.

EDIT: clear out your PM box.

 

I've seen... It's clean now hehe

David

 

Got the rear done today jeremy welded the shock hoops and front diff cover and we did the rear...HOLY crap this thing is HUGE still got to take that pitman arm off i got my 3RD puller tonight so hopefully this one doesn't break hahaha i grabbed some PB blaster so ill let it soak over night it should come off if that puller doesn't break on me again...pics will come tomorrow as i got the rear lift on in the dark

 

you going with longer control arms out back? can't imagine running that much lift with stock arms and no drop brackets... that rear axle has got to be way forward.

i do like the look of your Runner though. i actually always wanted a blue one...

 

yeah i have to get the gears and front driveshaft set up before i get the links in the rear but ill get them and yes its way forward but it will be fine for awhile until i get the control arms in the next couple months that or put a fuel cell in the back and take that gas tank out and fab up a custom 4 link who knows there are many many many possibilities now that have opened up....

 

fuel cell envy sucks ehh ?

 

hahaha yes

 

dude, I'm tellin ya. 3lb sledge hammer. Get it nice and tight on there, and then pound the bottom of the bolt like 6-7 times.. Hard, but not destructive hard.

Tighten the bolt some more, not a lot though, maybe 1/4-1/2 turn, and then hit it again, 6-10 times. Tighten it more, same amount, and pound again.

it'll take some time and effort, but mine came off. If mine did, yours will too, haha.l

 

here are some pics with the both front and rear lifted hopefully i can get that pitman arm off without breaking a 3rd puller hahha

as you can see the stock links are just a LITTLE too short hehe

 

ok well ive spent now 1 hr and 30min doin that hammer and turn thing and ive sprayed it liberally with PB blaster and it still hasn't moved soo sears has a conical pitman arm puller that covers 80% of the pitman arm which will have a lot more added strength i hope at least cuz its 77 bucks but at this point im willing to try anything

 

first off WD40 is crap, use PB Blaster.

Tighten the puller and hit the arm itself, not the puller.

If this gets you nowhere use heat on the arm, tighten puller and hit.

It is not unusual to break pitman arm pullers. Although you might want to try a different brand to see if you can get a better one...

 

well i got the pitman arm off thank you lord hahaha and the steering is all hooked up just have to do my tape measure alignment and triple check that everything is tight and ill lube her up and take her for a test drive

 

drove her around today without the steering stabilizer and there was NO death wabble drove it on the freeway and a nice curvy country road and it drives very well i was really impressed i have to get the alignment dialed in but thats not big deal it drives pretty straight but to anybody that wants to do the SAS DO IT its well worth it ill be praising it once i go offroad but i have to get a driveshaft and gears hehehe ill keep this updated

 

just ordered the front ring and pinion and ill be getting the driveshaft with hitch stock soon and as soon as all that is in (hopefully in the next couple weeks) ill make a test run on the trail and post some pics

 

so i went down and got some flex shots. Mind you that this isn't full stuff full droop for both axles since i only have 2wd still i can't get up on higher stuff but this shows potential and im happy with it overall its A LOT more then with IFS hahaha....




theres still a couple more inches to go hehe

 

looks sexy, congrats...

 

Very nice!
