I thought I was the only one who used levels and tape measures that way. People wonder why I keep bundles of tie straps and rolls of wire around......
Installed the Mopar extended LCAs, they are heavier (Thicker steel) and .25" longer.
Installed the Daystar .75" rear spacer and Bilstein 5100 shocks.
I have a super handy trick for the rear springs. I used a paint pen to mark where the alignment nub goes on the spring mount and on the rubber isolator itself. I also zip ties the upper rubber isolater to the spring, so it didn't fall off or move.
I ordered the BleepinJeep alignment plates, but for now I adjusted toe and straightened the steering wheel with good ole tape measurers and levels.
I installed the front Bilstein shocks too, but I didn't take any photos.
One thing... I have an extra set of rear sway bar links coming tomorrow. Even with a 1.5" lift in the front, the factory sway bar links are a no go. The sway bar is at an extreme angle. I'll install the extra rear set up front tomorrow
They are great. The truck definitely rides firm, but is not jarring. Stock it rode so soft and would get unsettled on bumps. No more of that. The steering is excellent too. Has a nice feel and is accurate. KO2s certainly help as well. I read today that the 2022 models will have 35" KO2s as a factory option, obviously to compete with the Bronco.How are the Bilsteins?
Uh, no. Then I'd have to wonder if there'd even be room for the tape measures to fit under the body to the other side.Tried and true!
Now I wouldn't use this method with my 911 though...
