Well got some stuff done on it.....removed the cat and built an exhaust that is tucked up, pretty much a straight system with a thrush welded muffler, its seems a bit loud for me so may add a resonator.
Got it rolled out of garage for the first time in 9 months and got it flexed up to measure for driveshafts and bumpstops......the dust on the hood was pretty thick
Found out that I need to go with a shorter shock in the rear as it was limiting uptravel and wouldnt let me stuff the rear wheels, I was thinking it might be a problem after installing the rear shocks.....the fronts were a perfect length for travel up and down and this RUF and 63s combination flexes awesome.
Well I have to say that driving this thing will take a little getting used to.....the body roll isnt excessive but sure gets your attention quick at first, sure glad I outboarded the shocks as far as possible.....the steering isnt as responsive as I would like but something I will have to get used to (will double check toe settings and I believe the steering box is OK) could also be the factor of the tall sidewalls of the 35s on 15s..........runs like a dream on the highway though, the 5.29s and the automatic are nice and not rev'd out......quite smooth really
I got the exhaust built and welded up.....after that I felt that my muffler choice made it a bit to loud for my liking so I installed a lightly used glass pack as a resonator behind the muffler and it toned it down nicely.
Got the tunnel section setup for the duals and shifters finished up and completed
I also wired up my winch with an Albright solenoid in order to lose the bulky 4 solenoid WARN control box.......I also removed the control port for the controller and mounted it into the grill......the winch is also wired on a toggle inside the cab if I need to control it from in there.
Since it is so close to done I felt it was time to put it in the rear window.....
^^^^^^ Like he said.....an out of the box lift is very easy to install, the kits always have really good instructions......and at the end of it you will understand your vehicle better for if you have a problem in the bush......unless you are crawlin' the mall
