Default got leveled

put the kit in.. started alittle after 10 am...not bad....note.. hard parts was the unplugging the larger plug from the epsa, then the lower strut bolt was damn tight..then putting the strut back in with the leveling block on it...note the 2 ton bottle jack, gave me enough to get it back in, just watch the hoses...

Looks great, why didn't you just disconnect the battery vs unplugging the steering?

i wanted to see how hard it actually was to do.battery was the easy way ..also note the strap on the spindle...kept the axle together and in the iwe...this maybe areas where guys end up getting the clicking/grinding and breaking the iwe's...

no clicks/clanks, grinding..even engaged 4x4 then drove on the asphalt then switched back to 2wd..steering straight as it did before...oil/alignment/rear shocks this week..

Looks motor high in the pics, but it must be just the way it's parked.


Nice work on that install though!



I'd lose the dip on the wheels, but if you like it that's all that counts.
