your pathy

I need some pics of the engine compartment with only a 3" body lift:

 

-the "pipes" (I wouldn't call them hoses b/c they are stiff?) that are up against the firewall.

 

-the "pipes" going out of the engine compartment (passenger side)

 

-then the driver's side where the pipes connect to the master clutch cylinder, smog lines, and brake lines.

 

I'm putting a body lift on tuesday and I'm just curious to how every1 else is doing it b/c I don't want to break one of mine by hoping that they just expand when I jack the body up...or do they just expand?

 

 

ps: when you have to extend the steering shaft. you "tap it out" and pull it so it goes back into the steering box at the front on the car. correct??

 

:help:

I have some pictures on my cardomain link of when i did my body lift. The hardlines you are referring to are the brake lines and the vent line for the charcoal canister from the gas tank. I suggest you the spray the poop out of all the bolts and the steering shaft with some PB Blaster.

 

Do one side at a time and lift slowly. You'll probably have to "stretch" the front hard brake lines. There's enough slack from the coils.

yea I thought there would be b/c of the coils, but wanted to make sure. What about the big one that has 2 braces??

[Cuong Nguyen]

big one?

[cohen]

nvm I just looked at it a little bit ago. it has a rubber hose at the driver side end and has enough slack. 1 more thing tho

 

-the bottom of the 4 "pipes" has a rubber hose on it i don't know what it goes to but it's already tight so I need a new one of them. I think I remember reading from another thread that its 3/8. do you remember replacing that?

Just unclip the lines, take them all off the fenderwells and let them hang. That's how you do it.

nevermind. dad is a complete ass hole, even after the kit is sitting in my garage and have plans to start at 10 am tomorrow. he says no. what a complete waist of like 2 weeks getting guides to installing it, calling up friends, and making a date where everyone can all meet. pssd

 

 

any suggestions on things that are less "extensive"?
