    Yeah, you're a bit far for me to do that :)...

    What lift kit, and what parts do you not feel confident you did right? You could always post some pics of those parts for us to critique.

    Haha yeah. I put on a Rough Country lift with Eibach springs and 1" spacers. Im confident in my work but it just being my first time i wanted to make sure i didnt miss anything. Especially having had some of the complications i had. I used my whole 4 day weekend last weekend and worked on ut each day this week and still not done. Broke passenger tie rod and couldnr get sway bar together correctly on one end so rough country sent me replacement parts. Those are all i have left now.

    Ouch on the Tie Rod! The passenger side is a bitch to get back together once you have the spacer and larger spring in though, Took me the better part of a day the first time I did one just to get everything on it re-attached on that side.

    It sounds like you have it mostly under control though. If you have any friends familiar with any front wheel drive IFS setup though, it wouldn't hurt to have them look things over. Once you have it all back together, if you have the confidence and want to drive it up here we'll throw it on my lift and triple check everything,

    Yeah mostly. I had trouble with the front passenger strut and the rear diver side.

    I have worked on cars for a long time and done lots of suspension but it's usually lowering cars lol. The rough country instructions i felt like werent 100% clear and i was missing some hardware but i made it work. Gonna doublecheck everything once im 100% done.

    And that would be cool. Its like, what, 2.5 hours there?
