Can anyone guess what I am doing this weekend? http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/treyscool1/album?.dir=/b956

Tire size will make a difference in this measurement....I have 31x10.5x15's

Check out the coils Slick used. I was just shocked at her photo's....looks like the rear went way up! The coils I used, and the one's I have seen other's use only had 9 coils....These have 11..... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...0&.dnm=8943.jpg

Ok, does this make it better.....Anyone else with a JGC coil lift, could you please do the same? I don't think I got as much lift as everyone else and want to confirm...

I was just looking through your pics, can you measure from the top of your rear bumper to the ground and tell me what you get? Thanks! Trey

I used a 1/2 inch drive and a breaker bar...Maybe I need to hit the gym...LOL Also, spring compressors are a life saver!!

New motor is in! Got the truck back at about 9pm and put the springs in today! I painted the panhard rod and shocks, I had painted the coils last week. I couldn't get enough leverage on the panhard rod nuts without taking the tires off. I suggest to anyone doing it to do that, it made everything much easier. Entire job took about 2 hours. I got a solid 3 inches in the rear, I cranked the T-bars until it looked even. I am pleased with the results. Now I just need my dang front fender flares. Pics are here..... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/treyscool1/album?.dir=/af8d

UPDATE... Looks like I am gonna get this thing running for around $1700....I was hoping for less but oh well....Oh and by the way, the clutch and radiator are bad as well. Here is what is getting replaced... Engine and all that comes with doing that job including but not exactly limited too... rear main seal distributor cap plugs and wires thermostat water pump oil pan gasket intake manifold gasket oil filter air filter belt timing belt head gasket clutch radiator Still looking at getting it done by this weekend...... Later.... Trey

Check Ebay, there are hundreds of them...

Yep painted them blue to go along with the color of the truck. I will post pics of the install....

Well I got my JGC coils ready, now if that dude would hurry up and finish putting my motor in....Here are the pics... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/treyscool1/a...m/ph//my_photos That's that....I cut them with a chop saw very easily.....Can't wait to get them in.... Trey

I have always read everywhere to fit 33's you need a 3" suspension lift and a 3" body lift...

The truck runs fine with the top of the snorkel pointed down? If that's the case I will make something similiar then....

I definetly have to do something after hydro locking my engine. The new engine is going in now, when I get it back I am gonna alter the intake somehow just not sure yet...that looks nice on that red pathy!

Montgomery, Alabama

Great sounds easy...Thanks!

When my 91 gets out of the shop I am thinking about painting the wheels black. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make sure the job is done right? I don't wanna have any chipping or cracking. I have the basic stock chrome 15's that come on the XE. Thanks! Trey

dang computer gave me an error message and the "page not found" page...thats why we I have a double post.... :furious:

I paid $2.09 yesterday on Maxwell Air Force Base here in Montgomery, Alabama. Off base prices are around $2.15....

I paid $2.09 yesterday, but that was on Maxwell Air Force Base....off base is around $2.15...All in Montgomery, Alabama.

My local junkyards wanted $100...got em on ebay for $25.....got em today..woohoo!! Now all I have to do is wait on the new engine to be put in.....

Yeah we tried to manually get it to turn over but it wasn't happening. There was a loud clunk. I am getting another engine for $650 and installed for $350, plus hoses, belts, etc. We will also replace the water pump, oil pump, thermostat, timing belt etc....I should be able to get away under $1500. Plus this new(er) engine has fewer miles than my old one....All and all everything is turning out ok.

OK and the verdict is.....drum roll please... The motor is locked up. I met the guy thats gonna be putting in the new motor (helluva a nice guy, he builds offroaders and races them) and we pulled the plugs (they were soaked) no luck. No geysers. I was hoping so much when I turned that key. Oh well, he said he should have it done by next week and will install all new everything that everyone has suggested on this thread. Thanks for everyone's opinions and advice. Hope to be on the trails again soon! Trey

This info would have been useful last week....ya know before I drowned it....Live and learn.... Here
