Getting ready to install lift

[willie1990]

I have a 03 1500 4x4 I bought the 4-5 inch rough country lift I am going to try to Install it this weekend and was wondering if there was a step by step on here or if some one could give me some tips before I start. Or if I could just get a picture of the underbody with the lift installed. Thanks!

The rough country website has install pictures just go to the lift and download the manuel to put it together

So I started doing the lift everything was going good but when I got to the passanger side I couldn't get the half shaft to come out of the hub. I sprayed it with wd40 hit it with a hammer didnt move tried some heat. Any ideas how to break it free?

Are you using regular wd40 or penetration lube? if not get penetration lube. The other thing I will recomend is Replace your front brake lines with Russel stainless steel lines. Your factory brake lines will be a little tight when the suspension drops down and when you make tight turns. Also get a paint marker or nail polish and make a line every nut and bolt after you have properly tighten them down. This way you can see if they loosen up.

Im using that new rust wd40 stuff. Thanks for the tip on making a mark on the nuts and bolts

That is a smart tip, with marking the nuts & bolts.
Good luck with the install willie! Make sure to post pics after lol

Will it be ok to put on my front diff drop brackets before the rest of the lift or will that mess up the front cv axles?

Yes just don't tighten them up until its in place. The top bolt on the front diff where you have the 3 holes is a mother to get some times.
