Rear suspension done

February 10, 2007, 10:23:42 PM

3 hours on a lift at the Air Force Base. Cost $15, I couldnt have done it without the lift, air tools, and my sister.

I learned something today, I like the desert, after living on the coast for so many years I bought every single part to do the suspension, expecting the worst.

Once I had it all apart, the bushings and hardware looked pretty good. I left the upper front bushings, replaced the upper rears and lower control arms, springs, isolaters, shocks, quads, and installed my J-yard rear strut bar.

Pre-measurement was 27.25 inches, after I drove the 5 miles home I measured both sides at 26 inches even.

The rear is a tad lower than the front, after I do the front I will see what size tires to run.

Right now the rears are new Kuhmo 225-60-15s, Im moving them up front and will run 235-245-255-60-15s, what ever I need for a slight rake on the rear.

The quads were oem and wore out, the right shock was new, the left rear I could play like an accordian.

The front feels really bad now, I can feel the left strut bottoming out, hopefully I will have all the parts to dive into that in a week or two.

Pics tomorrow, it was dark when I got home.
