Liftin' the Hundy

Man and I sore too. Gettin' old and being out of shape if no fun.

Luke, I'm cleaning up the garage and found you cheater. Matt, thanks again for leaving your bigger jack. It definitely came in handy.

Thanks again guys. SOOOOO looking forward to getting out to Chinaman to see how she does.

Now... don't get too excited. We're talking 2+ inches here...

I'll take some pics when the snow stops.

Haha.

Did you play around with the torsion bar settings at all since Friday night?

Thanks for the great price and saving me a trip up to Denver.

...and now I feel justified in slappin' a Red Line sticker on her.

No, she sat in the driveway all weekend. I've got some chores to run today, so I'm going to try to hit some curbs and some dips with speed to get things to settle.

Then I'll retweak the t-bars and take her to get aligned Tuesday/Wednesday.

 

[Fitzgerald]

MAN!... I sure hope it settles down a bit. She's a BOUNCY girl now.

 

[black95]

That's because you need bumpers and a winch! Haha.

I heard a light bar will do the same thing

Got some time today to mess with the t-bars. Raised the drivers a bit and drop passenger a hair. Sitting damn near level in the back (22 3/4 center of hub to fender) and level up front (21 7/8 center of hub to fender). That's close enough for me to the 1" +/- that all the 100 guys suggest for rake.

Off to the alignment shop, change my oil and putting my skids back on. Then ready for Chinaman's!

Thinkin' of taking off the rear bumper too...

 

[Fitzgerald]

Well... the OME instructions say I need at least 50mm of droop and I'm at 47.5, so I think I'll drop the front closer to the 1" mark instead of the 3/4" it's sitting at now.

Back to lifting, cranking, lowering, measuring, lifting, cranking, lowering, measuring,............................

 

[Fitzgerald]

OK... now she's sitting (22 3/4 center of hub to fender) in the rear and level up front (21 3/4 center of hub to fender).

I've now got a 1 inch rake with 2" of droop (50.8mm).

Happy to get her sitting correct and happy to be off that dirty, cold cement floor!

Ready to go wheelin!

You will be back messing around with it again when you get a yourself a winch and bumper
