Suspension lift
chris.hunt22:
OK, I have got all my bits and they are going on Saturday, I have........
Britpart yellow +2" springs
Goodridge +2" braided brake flexis
2 x BR1077L Procomp ES9000 +2" shocks (rear)
2 x DA4181 De-carbon +2" (front)
265/75/16 BF Goodrich Mud Terrains
Any words of advice before I dive in at the deep end (I still have time to buy bits tomorrow when I get my shocks), I have never touched suspension before. I presume with the brake flexis fit and bleed up one at a time?
Just before someone asks the question about mixing shocks - I wanted 4 x procomp but he had a problem getting them and I am inpatient if I have the bits plus I have a mate ready and willing to help!!
ChrisW:
If you haven't already started, start soaking all the nuts and bolts with WD40 a couple of times a day!

Agreed - cheap enough that its not worth messing with the old ones.
Spring compressors are also handy - not just for getting the old springs out, but for getting the new ones in!

Oh yeah - and with that lift you and tyres you will almost certainly need to trim your wheel arches, end caps and maybe fit extended bump stops to the front end, plus adjust your lock stops to avoid rubbing...
