Ball Joint Lift Pics: Before and After
 
I've been looking in to the BJ lift for my 86' Pickup and I' going to order the kit from Wab Fab and some Pro Comp ES3000's within the next few weeks, so I justs wanted to see some Before and After pics from people who have already done it (and yes i've searched most of the threads about this but not many have real good before and after pics). So please post some no matter where the picture was taken at, and some feed back on performance would be welcomed too.

Hopefully I will be doing the 1.5" BJ Spacer lift within the next month or so. I will take some before and after pics then post em up.

I just ordered the kit from Wab Fab last night and I'm getting shocks next week so I'll be putting it all on in about two weeks

NorCalWheeler 12-15-2008 01:58 PM

Hey slosurfer do u like the Bj lift and are you running the stock shocks with the lift or did you buy new ones, because I order the 2'' Wab Fab BJ lift so i'm getting some Pro Comp ES300 for 2'' of lift

This is my truck after ball joint spacers, it looked the same before ball joint spacers but I had the torsion bars cranked and it rode like crap.

Hey you're from Vacaville too...Did you go to wood or vh?

NorCalWheeler 12-15-2008 02:28 PM

So is the lift notice able (with or without the torsion bars cranked) and does it ride better?

What are you trying to lift it for?

good luck with the pro comp shocks. i had them and they were the biggest waste of money i have ever spent. they didnt dampen worth a crap and made my ride very bouncy and rough.

So then what did you get instead

sa51 12-15-2008 03:18 PM

i would get bilsteins, but if you are on a budget, get doetsch tech prerunners or mv12s, thats what i'm running now and i really like em.

swerks 12-15-2008 04:11 PM

My truck rides much better with the ball joint spacers I am using OME shocks

NorCalWheeler 12-15-2008 05:03 PM

are you going to get aftermarket ones anytime soon or do your OME shocks work fine?

Before with 245/70/16s http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...2/CIMG3962.jpg
After with 295/75/16s

the AAL in the kit did absolutely nothing to my sagged springs, did the ZUK mod to level things out
After Zuk mod

MAKE SURE YOU GET IT ALIGNED AFTERWARDS!
the front tires sit like this \ /

NorCalWheeler 12-15-2008 05:15 PM

So the AAL didn't lift the back at all
