Still waiting for the rear springs to arrive, and hopefully Ill have my garage space back next week to install it!
 
Haven’t had the time to install the new lift yet
But I did have time to replace the LS400 visors with some Rosen ones!

The driver side interferes a tiny bit with my rear view mirror depending on the position you try to set it, but nothing that is going to bug me I believe.
 
I've thought many times about getting the rosen visors. Probably would work well for me, but I have a feeling my wife would like regular visors more. To just completely block the sun.

Yeah
They take a bit to get use to
But Ive been using similar stuff at work for awhile and I like the idea of blocking the sun but not the view
 
Finally got some time to install the new lift!
Overall it gave me 2” in the front and just over 2” in the back from the older Ironman springs!
I did manage to snap a bolt on the front pax side bump stop, so as of now Im running no bump stops and probably will just use some frame mount ones instead of the coil bucket one!
Took it for a ride around the block and boy, this thing is smooth!
I still need to get the brake lines and diff breather extended before going out offroading
I have the lines, just ran out of time.
Budget for 5hrs and took me about 6.5hr
Not bad for a advanced beginner 😂

If anyone is interested, old springs and shocks are for sale. Cheap!
 
Nice, good to see you got the time to put the suspension on. Mine is supposed to be in today but oddly enough the tracker still shows the packages in Idaho. My sag was about an inch all around from the stock measurements so I will probably see about 2.5" lift overall (if other posts are accurate with their measurements).

Nice!
Mine old springs were sagging pretty good with all the extra weight I have on!
Maybe we can coordinate a time and I can help you get yours done too!
 
Spent the night with the wife, kids and a couple friends at a nearby camp ground.
We wanted to be close to home since this is the kids first time camping and we had some new camp gear to test.
All went well, except we were a little too crowded sharing 2 Hest mattresses and one sleeping bag. We will probably end up buying one more.
Also, wife agreed that the Gulwings will be a nice addition to make it a bit more convenient to access the fridge in the back.
