  1. Johann,

    What do you have in your headliner? Led response lights? Also, which LED bar do you have in your lower bumper?hey

    hey, sorry i dont go on often, cant remember if i responded or not, but those are led response lights. also its a rigid 22" bar. sorry for late response.

  2.  

    The front driveshaft doesn't articulate, and is above the plane between the control arms' rear mounts...so why'd you go over the driveshaft? I also agree with XPLORx4...I think you will have a lot of bumpsteer and it will track poorly, with high probability of bent tie-rods.

     

    Still, why go through all this effort if you're trying to sell it? I really think you've reached the point of diminishing returns. We'd get it if you were planning to keep it and wheel it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

     

    To be frank, I've not seen anything that would make me trust your setup, and nothing about this post or the previous 9" Lift! posts seems to make sense to me. I want to be awed, but it hasn't happened. I totally get what you're trying to do and how to accomplish it, but I have serious concerns that it's being done correctly or safely, and I think (hope) the community feels this way.

     

    You're flaunting that you've got some ungodly amount of lift on a vehicle that responds poorly to, and is simply not designed for, ungodly amounts of lift without real fabrication. Yet you're completely vague on the details, and the pics just leave us hanging. Either you lack pride and ingenuity in your work, or you secretly acknowledge it might not be safe, but hey: 12" Lift!

     

    Again, I really don't want to sound like a dick here (and maybe it's too late for that), but I hope this doesn't see action on the road anytime soon.

     

    If my intention was to sell two trucks, I'd be returning one to stock height, selling both separately as-is (or scrapping the donor), selling a tire/wheel package for a pretty penny to some Chevy/Toyota guy, and scrapping some steel. In a dream world, I'd have sold the donor truck, pulled the subframe, and begun SAS'ing it.

    1 ...my front drive shaft does spin regardless of it being in 2x4 or 4x4... 2, my driveshaft would block the rear a-arm bar because i did a diff drop... so i had to go above it... ive taken it out on the road multiple times now and bump steering is yet to become a real thing. just saying. i dont mind if you or anyone trusts it... to each his or her own opinion. i wont judge. correct me if im wrong but i dont think any vehicles are designed to be lifted. or am i wrong? if i am doing harm here just let me know ill just stop posting stuff.

  3. the rear a-arm bar is one bar that goes from one a arm to the other. it has a big curve in it to go over the front driveshaft. i know a little bit of bump steer will ocure but not too much hopefully. fot the rear i plan to put a little spacer in the driveshaft and extend the links out a little less than an inch. also get new longer coils. i will need a longer diff breathing hose and also a longer drop panhard drop bracket.
