Finally got her lifted. After all day at the Tulsa fair, Sunday at the bike drags, and the rest of the night doing my lift. Yea, I am gonna be worth something at work today.
I got the BDS 2.5 w/shocks. Pretty sweet set up, for being $349. $420 w/shipping from New Jersey to Arkansas. The shocks did not have boots but I wouldn't have installed them anyways. It rides better then the stock springs. I was very happy that I had an air chisel since the rear springs seemed to be welded with rust to the rear axle perches. It took about 3.5 to 4 hours start to finish. I will get extended brake lines though. Since my 31's look fine under her I will buck the extra cash for the complete stainless brake lines and hoses next. It needs them badly, along with a new master cylinder. I have reflared it once and replaced the cylinder w/three reman units and the rear still leaks out of the top and the line all down my steering shaft. Now the top seal on the steering gear is leaking from being eaten alive by brake fluid. :x
But the lift on the street so far is awesome. Soon I will have the brake lines so I can go test it off road!!
