![]() ![]() The install was delayed a bit because I didn’t have a 22mm socket on hand for the lower nut so had to buy one. The Bilstein 33-185552’s finally arrived as well, and I was able to install them last night. ![]() Steering does seem lighter and more direct with the CV’s disengaged on the street. Ended up using the double nut method to install the Warn supplied studs. I was going to re-use the factory studs but ended up over-torquing one. Quick update since I’m not breaking any new ground here.įinally got the Warn manual hubs installed last week. I’m leaning toward General Grabber ATX’s (with a $100 mail in rebate these will be cheap but open to suggestions) 31x10.5 Tires will be ordered once wheels are on the way. Pro Comp 15” steelies (also backordered) with a fun little paint project I have for them. Bilstein 33-185552 (backordered but should ship out this week) No joke - I was expecting it to be way stiffer than it is. I only have about 2 miles on the springs so far but initial impressions are that it feels almost stock just higher. It’ll be interesting to see how it looks once everything settled a bit. Either way I pulled the trigger, and everything was installed today.Īs you can see there is a little rake, however I figure once I get bigger tires with a full size spare out back, and load up with camping gear it should more or less even out. ![]() The Dobinsons seem to have similar specs to the OME springs, but others had reported about 2” of lift. After some additional research, and some feedback from fellow owners I decided on an off-the-beaten-path solution with Dobinsons front lift springs. After getting to know the car in stock form through this summer, doing a couple of minor mods (Curt hitch, interior LED’s etc), sorting out some overheating issues I ran into, and doing a ton of research here, Tyler’s YouTube channel, and some of the FB groups I started ordering parts for phase 1 of the modifications a few weeks ago.įor the rear I decided on the tried and true 9447 springs.įor the fronts after some deliberation I decided I didn’t want to do business with given the shipping cost gouging, and general lack of transparency in parts sourcing. ![]()
