  1. Black Betty Or- Black Betty Bam-ba-Lam. It even comes with a theme song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x61QWSdZUsE
  2. Does anyone have experience with these control arms from 4x4? Any good? Just trying to get about 2" and already need to replace the u can bushings... http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981105-pathfinder-upper-control-arms.html
  3. @Azbuilt - Is there a ball joint issue with lifting it like that? Also, what is the bump stop for and which one did you use? Thanks
  4. Yea, UCA's. Did you do it, if so was it easy enough? Also, why does RC say their UCA's only fit the HB, and not the pathy, any ideas? Thanks
  5. Azbuilt, I was just about to ask that about the UCA's. I looked at their website and only saw the kit with suspension. I'll try calling them. Did you do it yourself? How easy was it? Also, did you mean that in order to fit your tires you took off your fender 'flare/mud flaps' in the post above? Thanks, I might have some more questions...
  6. Are those Coopers 32x11.5R15? Do those fit without spacers or mods (other than your lift)? Looks great, thinking about doing something very similar since my UCA bushings are shot. Thanks
  7. Can these mount to a wd21 with a standard bumper?

  9. 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 (in about 1990). 3 speed on the floor. 289 4bbl. My dad bought in new, it's now mine and my bro's...pathetically sitting in the garage needing a major restoration.
  10. Thanks for the responses. I've had the truck for over 10 years, I don't think anyone has messed with the torsion bars or anything else on the suspension. I upgraded the shocks to stock size procomps (ES1000 i think) about 6 years ago. I've seen the re-indexing page and will check that out again. 2 more questions: 1) How difficult is the control are swap (assuming I'm already changing the bushings). 2) If I get new control arms, are longer shocks a must? How high can the truck be lifted with stock sized shocks? (same question for the poor mans lift I guess)... Basically, I want to lift it a bit, but don't want to spend too much. This is a second vehicle that doesn't do a lot of miles and doesn't need to perfect. Just want a little lift and more importantly, new tires! Thanks
  11. I'm looking at doing the poor man's lift (torsion bars adjustment in the front and spacers or springs in the rear). I've found info about the springs, spacers, ride heights, ball joint angles, etc... Can someone help me with the torsion bar adjustment. Not the re-indexing, but the actual adjustment to lift the front end. Basically, where do I put the wrench and how do I crank them up. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't find it anywhere. Also, I need new control arm bushings, tires, and an alignment. What order should I do everything 1) bushings 2) torsion bar adjustment 3) alignment 4) tires???? I'm not really into changing the control arms ($$) unless everyone here says I absolutely should. I just want an inch or 1-1/2 lift Thanks
  12. Ok, I did some searching on your page. I see that these are spacers for the rear to lift up the existing springs for an effective lift. Very cool, and if I lift the front I will definitely order these for the rear. I like that I can lift the front, then do some measurements to get a good balance and order however many inches I need. Do you have instructions for installation? Looks easy, just curious. thanks
  13. Steve, I looked at your website, pretty cool. Can you explain using the spacers for lift a little more? What else do you need? Also, I only see rear spacers for the WD21, do you make fronts too? Thanks
  14. @MxPathFinder - I'm thinking about doing something similar. Let me know what you decide. Would also like to know how much it costs to install, or how hard it is to do yourself. @5523Pathfiner - Do you know how to choose the 1.5" vs the 3" rear coils? How do you like the lift, any other suggestions? Any help would be great. Also, does anyone know if you can jump to 33's with this lift?
  15. @Bubbley11, Why do you also need the Jeep coils for the rear, isn't this a full kit? Is it relatively easy to do it yourself? Going to do this to my 95 also. Thanks for the help.
