o DMAXSTORE KRYPTONITE HD Tie Rods (red)
o RS5407 (Rancho steering stabilzer)
o GM green keys (3" lift to the front)



I am taking some time off next week while everyone else is at work/school, so I hope to have all of this installed by Friday. If I can get my old camera working (don't want grime on good camera) then I will take pictures along the way. Since I don't have a welder (yet), I didn't go for the Cognito Idler Pivot kit (IPAWG8) at this time, but will by this time next year.

By the way, those KRYPTONITE HD tie rods are gargantuan and I can't find a 1.75" crowfoot anywhere near here. Looks like I will be guestimating on the torque for the inners with a open-end wrench. Bleh.


are you lifting the back? I'm only putting 35s back on mine but still want to lift it right. Right now my plan is green keys,cognito UCA kit with rancho front shocks and a rancho steering stabilizer. Not sure for back, I have stock springs. Was going to use some Maxx 1.5 or 2" spacers but was wanted to know if it would be better to just spend a lil extra on the extended springs, and do I need to replace shocks in back too?

thanks
