I must first thank Mike from Mike's Garage for assisting me (or me assisting him) with the install. We started at 10am with first an unpacking and planning the attack. I had sprayed everything with de-ruster penetrating oil, but that didn't help with the loctited fasteners (but acetylene and oxygen was handy).
The DR parts bolted on perfectly except one hole which bolted the crash bar to the hanger was off by 2mm and required some massaging. All in all, with no breaks it took until 5:00pm to get everything but the carrier bearing hanger mounted. Also, I need to make a slight adjustment to the drag link to center the steering wheel perfectly. I can do the carrier bearing at a future date, if a driveline vibration developes.
So, what was done?
To compliment my 2.5" front spring and 3.5" rear spring lift;
Donahoe Racing
3" hangers and shackles
Tracbar relocation bracket
Drop pitman arm
Signature series shocks, no reservoir
Front sway bar end links
5" rear blocks
Carrier bearing drop kit
I will get more pictures taken (and posted) as time allows.
As of now, there are a few in my FTW gallery
