So update on the lift. I started yesterday at 8 am with my buddy. After BSing and eating breakfast we started to tear down the front end. Everything was going smooth... until the front diff had to come out. Let me tell you, it was a major PITA! After getting it out, it was time to measure and cut. Well... couldn't find my angle grinder and when I did I couldn't find the cutting wheels... FML. Once I did find them, it was on. Got all the cuts made, smoothed out the edges and painted the bare metal. And then comes back the fun part.... Getting the diff back in... like it was said in replies, it was a pain. And then come to find out I put the front bracket on upside down.... and then jacking it up in place to line everything up... wow I don't think I cussed so much in my life. Well either way, got it in and torqued down, crossmembers and CV axles, struts and LCA's back in. Well at this point it was 1030 at night so I called it quits for the night, because it was next step was brake lines and after all the frustration I thought it was best to sleep. So come today and 9 am, I get started on the brake lines, got everything in, and then put the new knuckles in. Got it all bolted up and put the wheels and tires on. Time to knock out the rear. The rear end was relatively easy and straightforward. Got the rear link drop bracket, brake line drop and everything all in. Got it all done and torqued, put the wheels and tires back on and thought I was done! So I took it for a test drive to the corner store for a pack of smokes, and noticed an odd noise. Sounded like squealing as I was driving, like my tires were locked up. So I get home and realise that both of my tires are facing inward and notice they are pretty warm on the outer edge. Thought well crap... back to work. Ended up loosening the tie rods and fixing the issue. Another test drive and much better. Tomorrow I go for an allignemt and wash her up, and she will be back on the road! So after two whole days, lots of beer, cigarettes and cussing, I give you the finished product!
I was too busy to do a write up or take pics, but it isn't too hard. Just read directions carefully and read them again.
I will share more pictures tomorrow after she's clean and in the sun.
