Installed lift this morning, started a 7am...done by 9:30am. Removed 2 inch spacers and with new springs it netted an additional inch + (19" before, 20 1/2...which may settle some?). Basically, the old original springs were sagging about an inch. Didn't have a chance to drive it, wife said l better be done and ready to leave for the bluegrass festival...by 10:30...or...well, you married guys know the rest.
Peanut gallery.
Rover sits more level now.
Brian.
P.S...this new photo uploader is a major pain in the butt.
Looks good. What's the backstory on the rear roof rails and basket?

Thanks. The roof rails are original to the rover, not sure why my SD model has them...l'd assume it's an option or something...see very few with them.
The rack l picked up off of Amazon, $140.00 bucks delivered. The tubing for the main framework is fine, but the basket stuff is kind of thin and will bend with my large carcass roaming around up there. However, it has worked out fine for me and in the future...l'd like to add some of that plastic grating to the bottom...this would eliminate putting so much weight (my knee) on one spot.
Had to make up the Crossmembers that the basket mounts too. Just 1X3 box tubing, and some muffler clamps to secure to roof rails.
ome comparison pictures. Before and after. After a short road trip...LF-21", LR-20.5", RF-20.25, RR-20.5" from center of tire ot wheel well lower edge. She definitely sits up a bit, no more pulling the front door closed...now that it isn't sagging in the front. THESE MAY BE THE LAST PICTURES I POST...SOMETHING THAT TOOK MINUTES BEFORE AND I COULD ADD TEXT BETWEEN EACH PICTURE EASILY...HAS TURNED INTO A F'N NIGHTMARE...DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP. Being here was nice while it lasted. Brian.
It was suppose to say "Some" pictures...but since l can't go back and edit post anymore...just get a blank space with no text or pictures...so, l guess you get what you get.
Imgur is what i use to host pics and it works great!
Thank you, but it was so easy before...straight from my tablet with no hassle at all. If using a secondary host is needed...l'm done with pictures...no time for more difficulties.
Yes, but only if pictures are involved. I can edit text-only post. I'll try clearing everything out, but l usually do that every other day anyway...tablet is a few years old...and it is getting tired. I'm 58...so just imagine how l feel...lol.
