If you lived close enough to me and had a garage I'd be happy to help. Only reason I say a garage is it's in the 20's and snowing here.

 

[Greg Grimes01]

[Jerry Gerner 2]

Yeah, Yeah keep braggin.:lol:

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

What's wrong with the factory bushings, They dry rotted or something?

 

[Greg Grimes01]

dry rotted ,fell apart. looked for 2 weeks for aftermarket replacement stock bushings.nobody makes stock replacements ,only 2-3 inch lifts. gonna order some urathane stock and make my on,then replace the stock ones.

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

A word of advice on the bolts if you're not using airtools as I didn't when I did the Body Lift on mine. Use a pair of good vise grips on the bottom nut plates so they can't turn when you turn the bolts. They use alot of loctite from the factory and they can be a pain.

Greg,



You can come up here to Sacramento, Ca. and we can help each other. :banana: Going to be 63 here tomorrow / partly cloudy.

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

I wake up to find 5" of snow covering everything and it's coming down so fast that as soon as you clear it it's covered again.

 

[Greg Grimes01]

:banana:6 hours later. a few choice words,a few scrapes and bruises. and its done ...thank you...

 

[Kevin Palmer]

That is a GOOD days work right there...



Congrats on getting it done.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

How does it ride with the new body mount bushings? Now you can come out west to help me do mine. :lol:

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

Great news, I hope you used plenty of loctite, don't forget to retorque the bolts in about a week and then check in a month just to be on the safe side.

 

[Greg Grimes01]

rides a lot better,QUIET... would if i could,rodger.

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Greg,



Can you list here, or email me, the general proceedure you used to get the job done in 6 hrs. w/o removing the body off the frame? Thanks
