Easy work, just don't snap off the body mount bolts and your golden.

we did the one on my hoe...not too hard....took us a few hours one day and a few more the next. the only part that wasn't clear was the parking brake bracket but you can pretty much look at it and figure it out.

 

[riviera rider]

ya i still havent messed with it, ive been getting everything else done, still gotta put in my rear shocks and my power steering pump and then i just got my drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads in the mail so i gotta go get new calipers and new shoes and brake kit for the rear then im going to do all the brakes probaly this weekend. ill get the kit on eventually

 

[wicked2000]

I was able to do it in one day with air tools. The next day I did some modifications on the rer bumper. Did a little welding without the proper eye protection and now paying for it. Get the gap guards if you can.

xBRANDONx I ban you from putting 24" gangsta wheels on your hoe.

 

[riviera rider]

awesome looks like saturday im going to install it. i got my 60gal air compressor and all my air tools at my dads anyway so should go pretty decent im thinking

how bad does the rear bumper look without modding something to raise it up?

 

[BlackedOutHoe]

bad...espically on a 3 inch BL. But there's nothing you can do about it on a 2 door.

 

[blizz]

eh..you can hide it. this is what i did with some rubber base molding.

 

[riviera rider]

ill fabricate something or maybe just get all the gap guards

 

[blizz]

they dont sell gap guards for that space. if you find some material similar to the ones used for the gap guards, let me know. i need some to make some for the rear. the tires jacked em all up.

 

[rucr8z2]

why can't you move up the bumper on a 2door its the same on the 4door-- just cut the bottom of the frame at a slant - slot bottom hole in bumper and use the top hole in the frame - bolt up and level then mark 2nd hole then drill a new hole beside the top hole in the frame -----strong as original. the two side brackets are not used anymore...

 

[destroyer1362]

I'm making a note of that^

 

[riviera rider]

ya i know the body guy at work said something about just moving it up from the bottom mount to the top one, great ill definetly let him do that then if it does work!

 

[wicked2000]

I did the same as rucr8z2 and it came out good. Very easy to do. I still welded and bolted it with one bolt on each side. You need to raise it because it will look like shit.
