| The hospital where the surgery was performed |
A lift really makes this job a lot easier |
 |
 |
| Pull the front coils out and let it hang |
Remove the shock towers. They won't be used |
 |
 |
| You can attach the limiting straps to support the front end when you take the control arms off |
Will need to replace the pitman arm. (Less than 20K mi. and the lower seal in steering gear is leaking) |
 |
 |
| Here you can see the track bar relocation bracket and and one of the sway bar stand-offs |
Replacing the upper and lower control arms |
 |
 |
| The new radius arm in place | New vs. old springs (quite a difference!) |
 |
 |
| New spring in place | With a shock |
 |
 |
| Old shock tower replaced with a plate | The only welding on the project |
 |
 |
| The bump stops reinforced with a couple gussets. A little black spray paint to clean it up |
Rear bump stop lowered with new stand-off |
 |
 |
| New leaf springs for the rear | Drilled a hole in the driver side bump stop bracket and mounted the brake line support to it |
 |
 |
| Drive shaft angle looked okay (the 35's don't look bad either). | This is what it's all about |
