My new Lift!

[swampyCU]

Well I finally got my lift on my 80. I was waiting for some back-ordered parts for about 3 weeks. It was killing me seeing those boxes just sitting in our office. So this weekend was the time to put it on. Jp and another one of my friends came over about 9PM friday and we worked until ~2 AM. We got the back finished and the front we almost finished, but the bump stop bolt broke on the passenger side so we decided to call it a night. Saturday i finished up myself.

I ended up with OME J springs front and back and OME L shocks all the way around. It looks like it gave me about 4.5 inches in the rear and 4 in the front over my old wore out stock 180k mile suspension.
