Default Re: Egan's Mini Lift

After a lot of research I discovered I didn?t need the longer shock mounts which is why the shocks look so scrunched up in the pictures. I put the stock ones back on to take advantage of the longer travel shocks. I did have to raise the LCA/hub with the jack to get the shock to line up at full droop.
I also added the beefier front swaybar endlinks while I was at it. When everything was done, I cranked the torsion keys until I got the lift I was looking for.



I had measured the ground to fender lip distances at the center of each wheel before I started. I now compared my new readings to the old (after a short test drive to settle the suspension).



All looks good at about 2? up front and level side to side. I must have recorded the initial left rear incorrectly because there is no way I got 1.7/8? of lift from a 1.1/2? spacer!
