After helping install Camodown's coilover kit...I just couldn't stand by at idle:

damn you ewic. hahaha
|
I want!
|
nice!
|
Go ahead and send them my way. I just wish I could get the front diff drop bracket and knuckles from Superlift. That way I can do AAL and shackles to the rear and coils for the front.
|
I said it before, I'll say it again, Niiiiiice!
|
just waiting....waiting for ORU for the coilovers and bracket's are in the making
|
I'd LOVE to see exactly what you're doing here.. I understand the concept but some pictures sure would/will help if you'd be kind enough to take some during assembly..
Lifted? Lowered? ????? GB :) |
I plan on taking alot of pictures. I'm double lifted right now on 35's. The process is basically removing the torsion bars, the torsion bar drop bracket's and keys. Then you install an UPPER coilover bracket (bolt on) in place where your upper shock hardware was installed. You install (bolt on) a lower coilover bracket which uses your 2 existing holes for the original OEM lower shock bolts. Include two more which you also have to dril out. Then install the coilover's. Change out your left and right brake lines (the OEM lines are too short, and the new coilover's have way more downtravel than your stock torsion bars would allow, so you could rip your hard line off, if you don't go to longer brake lines. There are two gussets per side that HAVE to be welded on, for reinforcement for your shock buket. And that's pretty much it.
Here is the install on my buddies truck: lower bracket's: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/IMG_7861.jpg Gussets: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/IMG_7866.jpg Lower bracket installed: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/IMG_7881.jpg Upper bracket: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/IMG_7892.jpg Finished and installed http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...n/IMG_7906.jpg |
I MUST have this.
|
Thanks for the pics and explanation as well!! :D
GB :) |
In this picture what are the 2 bars for that are going toward the back?
Is there a improved ride with this? What is the total investment? Quote:
|
The two bars going to the back are the brace bars for the RCD lift. Yes, it rides MUCH better. I don't know about the cost though.
|
Hopefully he can tell me the cost. I wanna do this
Is there a website that sells this all together or something you piece together your self |
Jacob (Shadow905) on R/F made the brackets for the coil overs. The springs and shocks were bought from Summit, I believe. The brake lines are Jeep XJ units IIRC. But no, not kits. To do this without the RCD 6" lift, I think you would just need to use shorter shocks, but Eric would be able to tell you for sure.
