treywurst Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 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.

88pathoffroad Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Sweeeeet! Lookin good! My panhard rod came off pretty easily. Just use a breaker bar or 1/2" drive ratchet for leverage, it'll come off without too many problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treywurst Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repack Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Sweet. I have everything but the time right now- springs, RS 5000's, spring compressors and angle grinder. What is the max Tbar adjust before I need to start worrying about CV angles? I picked up the springs a week ago and my Harblor Freight order came in today Edited April 19, 2005 by Repack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Leave at least a 1/2" between the UCA and the bumpstop and you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
