A 4wd lift will work the HD's use the same suspension on 2wd and 4wd

I've never seen a 2wd with a kit on it so this might be a dumb question. Are the spindles the same from the 2wd kit to the 4wd kit?

Yes the spindles or "nuckles" are the same .

I guess they would be the more I think about it. I think it's funny the 2wd wheel bearings have the hole for a CV shaft to go thru.

Well trucks done except for the crossmember. Power mysteriously went out last night and I only have a battery powered drill so I had to wait until it came back on today. Drill is charging now

 

[jraymer]

Time for pics!!
You find some wheels yet?

 

[RENODMAX]

Its out there haha. No I havent found wheels. My goddamn gear puller broke to put the torsion keys back in and now I have to go get a big c clamp to put them in. Pain in my ass.

 

[KEVINL]

Did you work through the night:rofl:

I didn't even use a puller I just put a jack under the LCA

 

[RENODMAX]

and jacked it up?? haha hell no I finished everything last night and went to drill my frame mounts and after one side my battery died and the power was out so i just left it until today. just gotta put keys in put it on the ground and hook the sway bar up and torque the LCAs

 

[KEVINL]

Yep

 

[RENODMAX]

ill give it a whirl.

 

[RENODMAX]

I just used a big c clamp. I ground the shaft down until it was square and then beat a 1/2" socket onto it. Gotta put the blocks in and Im done. Now need a serious alignment. Im going to have to do a minor one in my driveway just to get it to be safe to drive to les schwab. The tires both toe out and since I only have h2 wheels the spindle is realllly close to the tire on the backside.

I hate using a C-clamp for the torsion bars. I can see a piece of metal flying thru my skull. Did you put the spacers on or just bolted the wheels directly on?

 

[TIM Z]

Cool!, its on !

Got mine too, diff thread to follow soon.

i can say the kit is great, rides a lot better than the green keys, heavy ass skid plate too!

If I remember correctly, mine was 13 turns out on the drivers side and 11 on the pass side (tie rods). Use a tape measure front and back of the tire and give yourself 1/16-1/8 toe out in the front. It will get you pretty close. I drove mine for almost a year before I aligned it.

Looks good Jordan. I thought you were just gonna run spacers on your H2's? New plans?

 

[RENODMAX]

I put the spacers on. The tire is wayyy to close to the spindle for my liking

 

[Big Block 88]

I see any ideas on what wheels you are goin to?

 

[RENODMAX]

Probably raceline renegade 8s. Theyre cheap is the only reason.

My 16s are really close to my spindles too, like a 1/16" space. Not sure what my BS is but I will get new wheels some day
