The Definitive SUA Lift Thread

[JohninFla]

Doh! Just opened the box and read the directions. Never mind

Here is a question fr the definitive SUA lift thread:

What size, thread and length is the small bolt that holds the fixed end pin in place?

I just noticed my OME Greasable shackle kits don't have a new one in there.

Thank you!

It's ok to ask questions, right?

I looked at my springs - what does the 0 and 1 mean, and which way does the arrow point? Front of truck?

And no rush - it's STILL raining here, even though Andrea is gone.

Thanks
John

The arrows point to the fixed pin, aka the non shackle side. The military wrap should be at the fixed pin, just like OEM. So all arrows pint from the outside toward the middle of the truck.

The - means slightly under spec and the ( ) means exactly to spec. If you have a + then that spring would be slightly over spec. You want the ( ) to be on the drivers side if you don't have a +. The highest arched spring should be on the drivers side.

Thank you Jmstu!

I put my front springs on backwards and on the wrong sides. I got it all sorted out, but would have preferred not to have done it twice.

Looking real good!! That is the height and look I am going for!
And I think you have finally convinced me to break down and buy a set of the 62 Mirrors the next time I head to Cali to see the rents. There is a toyota auto yard there I know has them and I can grab them from!

Off-topic: Where is this yard, I am now in Cali
