Side.

 

Slowly got around to finishing up the body lift. Well almost, still have to secure the front bumper but ran short on washers so I will pick some up tomorrow. I do have to either modify the air box or just pick up a cone filter. I did hook up the battery and for some unknown reason it wouldn't fire. Hmmmmmmm.

 

Not a great picture but does show some height difference. I was going to start on the suspension lift but unfortunately I was involved in a hit and run last week. We were forced right off the highway in my MINI Cooper by a guy towing a few atvs, he smacked his trailer into the side of my car. Car is going in for body repair so I will be using the blaze.

 

I finally decided to start working on the suspension lift yesterday. I got the upper control arms disconnected, shocks out, torsion bars unloaded. I see this taking a week or more as it's not a daily driver and I'm in no rush to get it done.

 

Driver side.

 

Im right with you here. Doing my front end suspension and steering components. Also my 3rd vehicle so really no hurry other than done before it snows. Will be following this thread.

 

I ordered my tires tonight. I couldn't pass the deal I got on a new set of 265/75-16 GT RADIAL ADVENTURO AT3. These measure out to 31.7" and are going on a set of older Iroc Z wheels. I'm hoping to have most of the lift complete this weekend.

 

I made a little more progress on the front end. I got the axle shafts out, upper and lower control arms out, torsion keys and bars out. I am ready to drop the diff out! I removed the lower control arms to get the the torsion bars out as they were completely seized in the keys and arms. I am going to replace the lower ball joints, torsion bars with a set from a ZR2. I already have 2" shackles in the rear so I'm going with an add a leaf for the springs.

 

Passenger side.

 

I finally got the front differential out today. Thank you to Jamaroon for your thread and the few helpful hints such as removing the entire steering linkage. This was a huge help. I hope the reinstall goes smoother than the removal.
