Timmons Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well it's finally done. SFD is now installed. For you guys that have the 6" SFD installed, I'm going to switch out my Rancho's in the rear, what are you using off road that really works well with this lift? I'm so impressed with the amount of lift i got from this kit. Highly recommended. Fantastic clearance for off-roading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01silvapathy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Awesome man! Glad to hear that you finally got the lift on. As far as rear shocks go im running pro comp es3000's. They have done me great from off roading to daily driving road trips with full loads of people and towing a trailer for work. They are cheap too, only like 70 bucks with tax for a pair of them. BUT HOW DARE YOU NOT POST PICS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT HOW DARE YOU NOT POST PICS! I actually took a bunch of pics during the installation for Andrew to use at Krypton Fabrications. Waiting for it to get light out tomorrow before I take a good picture of the vehicle since we just got done tonight. Now I can work on installing the air lockers in a few weeks.

XPLORx4 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't have the SFD kit, but I just installed a set of Bilstein 5150's and I'm pretty happy with them. For the SFD, you will probably want part number 25-101874. Ext Length": 29.7" Comp Length: 17.78" Travel: 11.93" Valving: 255/70 They run about $100 each. http://www.eshocks.com/bil_ORsb.asp?Series_Index=Q8&SubChar=Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I went with the Pro Comp ES9000. I'm sure it's comparable to the ES3000, but I had a super discount offered through 4WP (making each about $28). Any ways, if memory serves, it is part # 929500.

Suns gotta be out by now.......I would love to see pics of those proto type rear WJ adapters that fit 4" springs......and want to know Rick13's opinion on them since he went the 6" route on his rig.

We can thank Andrew at Krypton Fabrications for these awesome new purch adapters for the R50 they are making now. This will level out the R50 when using WJ 4" springs in the rear. I purchased them with the bolts but decided to weld the adapters onto the rear purches anyways. Working on new rear swaybar links and front skid plate. Will have pictures for those this weekend.

nispath4wds Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I got myself KYB GR-2 shocks and struts in one package on ebay. I read about them on the net before I got them. Hope they will last and do its job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krypton Fabrications Thanks for posting those pics......did you ever post pics of the rig after the SFD??? I'm still looking.... How much clearance did you end up netting after the lift? What to see how the "Rake" if any with the 4" springs vs. the 6.5" (like Rick 13 had). EVERYONE LOVES PICTURES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah, Andrew makes some quality products. I can see how that new perch adapter will make the spring sit higher and help level the vehicle. Shoot, I still have my 4" WJ springs that are pre-cut to fit the upper perch if anyone is interested (just PM me and I bet we could work something out). That sure is a nice looking steering linkage. Does the steering linkage allow for some minor length adjustment? Just wondering if you could still rotate the steering rack to better line things up. Just curious.

Does the steering linkage allow for some minor length adjustment? Just wondering if you could still rotate the steering rack to better line things up. Just curious. You can make small adjustments on the steering link. We still had to bend the drivers side bracket attached to the steering rack and add some washers to avoid to much bend in the linkage. After that, worked like a charm. I will take some great pictures this weekend. Not ready to add any yet since i'm welding on a 6" bar to expand both sway bar links in the rear and a custom made skid plate in the front. Stay tuned.

It sits level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
