  • Help!?

    Just hoping I could get a couple people that might help me instal my lift tomorrow? I'm using manual tools as I don't have a compressor (unless someone with a compressor offers a helping hand! ) I want to get my rear control arms coils on all 4 corners and shocks on all 4 corners, body lift installed this weekend. The tough part is just trying to get it all done with 2 hands.

    heck let me know if I can buy you pizza whatever I'll happily donate something to show some appreciation.. I don't know where else to put this In orange CA I don't have a garage but I can make some room to work on it.

    Hey Dan. I might have time tomorrow after about 5:30 if you're still out there working on it, and I should be available for the morning on sunday till about 1:30 or 2:00.

        Anyone have advice on how to adjust the front track bar so it's straight?

          You can buy a adjustable track bar
          or redrill the frame

            I have an adjustable track bar.. I'm trying to figure out how to get the suspension to settle over the the adjustable track bar and so I can get the bolt through

              [COLOR="Blue"]You need to set the vehicle on the ground and use a ratchet strap from the axle to the frame. Tighten till the axle is centered then adjust the track bar to align with the track bar mount.

              You'll need to measure from the wheel to the frame on each side to make sure you're centered.

              Once you lift a TJ your toe-in usually needs to be adjusted also. Toe-in is approx 1/8" narrower in the front than the back. (front sidewall to sidewall --rear sidewall to sidewall) [/COLOR]

                For the FRONT track bar you can line up the bolt holes by turning the steering wheel. That will shift the frame/axle alignment enough to line up the holes. For the REAR track bar, you will probably need a ratchet strap.
                If you don't like the way I drive, stay out of the bushes!
