Default Almost ready for prime time

Step 1:





Check




Step 2




Check




Step 3: Waiting for a new TPMS valve stem cause I broke one mounting the tires. That'll teach me for doing it in my living room LOL Yes I mounted the tires the old fashioned way, didn't want to chance some luber goober/tire monkey scratching my new wheels.

Should have them bolted on by the weekend.


The waiting is killing me!!!

Rnlcomp,

Are they LT tires? What made you decide on the Coopers?

Take Care

Yes I did, I'll let the pictures speak.


Before and after...







And the spring stabilizers installed.




Went with the 1.75" spacers for just the right amount of lift, there's an added benefit as it stiffens the mushy front suspension a little bit.


Those spacers they sell to go above the strut don't give you that.
