I still want some fender/tire gap but just nowhere what I have now (which is only maybe 0.50" to 0.75" more than my buddies 1LE), I just don't want it to look like a ricer with the tires all up in the wheel wells, but I don't think that will be the case...
So, I found out today that some of the bolts that need to be removed on the rear are in fact TTY (Torque-to-Yield (i.e. Single Use)) bolts, so that added about $60 to the project... Funny on all the install videos no one ever mentions replacing the bolts (and I'm sure many don't) but I'm going to just to do things per the Service Manual... (I'm still short 1 bolt but picking that up in the morning...) |
I actually did this job a couple weeks back installed Eibach 1LE pro kit springs. For the rear, I used the method in Lethal's video and instead of undoing all the outer arm bolts, I only did the one inner LCA bolt which made things a lot faster. If you have aftermarket exhaust though, the passenger side LCA will hit the exhaust when lining back up. I had to wedge the exhaust sideways to swing the LCA up to line back up. Definitely helps to have a second set of hands there.
