Re: My winter project

Slow progress but still moving along. I have the old lift out and working on a new 4" with rear blocks, the old springs are shot but found a set of rear that will replace the ones if have.

Re: My winter project

I worked with two sets of rear springs replacing broken leafs and making a good set, rear blocks and springs for the lift are set.

Awesome, looks great!!! Thanks for following along on mine, lol - I have been following along on yours as well.
Question about the Rough Country lift. Did you get extended brake lines?
I bought my lift in pieces since I wanted certain items like shocks different and what not. I got the Rough Country extended brake lines. Strangely the rear line fits loose. So... if you did get the extended lines... have you had any issues with your rear brake line not fitting in the frame bracket tight where the hard line threads in? I think I need to get an extra snap ring to fit in there somewhere to tighten it up. Let me know if you can. Thank you and have a good weekend!

PS - your metal work on the windshield header looks great! It made me cringe when you cut it out.

Re: My winter project

Spf79, with the 4" lift I did not need to change any the break lines, when I get it back on the road I may need to change.
