Finally, the freaking lift kit!!!!

Up until September I hadn't done anything to her.  I was gone for the summer doing more training crap.  As soon as I got back I ordered the Rusty's 3.5" suspension lift, a Kevin's Offroad adjustable trackbar kit and Daystar Poly Bushings.  That trackbar is crazy beefy and worth the money in my opinion.

I wanted to save a little more before I bought the kit, but I had horrible, horrible death wobble.  We would hit a small pot hole and the whole car would shimmy and shake so bad my friends thought we were going to die.  I literally had to pull over and stop the car to make it stop shaking.  It got to the point that I couldn't drive anywhere because the roads here suck so bad.  So, here it is, all the pictures of the install:

 All this crap came off.  Took a big can-o-man thanks to the rust.  Again, never buy a car the previous owner says was a beach car...




The trackbar was rusted on so bad I had to sawzall it at the axle side.  Not to mention, it didn't have the original nut on the back with the tab.



I also had to take a cutting wheel to get the trackbar off of the original bracket so I can send the core back to Kevin's Offroad.

 

Boom, a day and a half later, front end is fully installed.
