So halfway through doing the install and stopping for beer. The rear is on and I must have been sagging a ton, because it looks jacked up to me! I am worried that it might over extend the brake lines at full flex. Justin at Lucky 8 said it wouldn't. We'll see.

 

post up some pics when you're finished

 

Definitely would love to see some pictures...this is something I'm thinking about doing before or maybe at MAR, but I have lots of other stuff to address on my stock DII first.

Are you doing both the springs and shocks? All Terra Firma or different make of shock? (Sorry for the n00b question, but would it even be an option to just do springs and retain oem shocks temporarily?)

 

I got the full kit from Lucky 8. About 5 hours to install by myself. Pretty straight forward. I think the back may be a bit higher than the front though.

 

If you have a near 3" lift and you are at 100,000 miles or more, replace the rubber brake lines cause they are most likely aging from heat, make sure to do a full 2 quart brake flush afterwards to give you a firmer brake pedal.

 

That is normal, I guess the idea is that you are going to put a bunch of crap in the back so they have to account for that. Any lift is going to really high when compare to saggy beat springs. The springs will settle over time.

I put a pic on Lucky 8's FB page.

 

They don't look too bad. I have just over 80k on it now. The Lift is supposed to be 2 inches over stock, however, the TF 2 inch is bigger than the OME 2 inch.

This is a side by side of two shocks.

 

The TF is more like 2 3/4"

 

I'll be moving about 1500 lbs of cement blocks up to the cross country trail I developed today. The blocks will all be in the back of the truck. That ought to help the rear settle, and I am interested to see how it handles with the load.
