Finally (My Build Thread)

Been reading these forums for 3 years now and finally pulled the trigger on lift and tires. Let me know what you think.

Before:




After:






Build/Install:




Cooper Discoverer AT3 xlt
LT 285/65/R20
$1817.00 Shipped
Painted letters white with 2 Coates of Milwaukee paint pens.
Painting those letters sucks, I don’t think I would do it again. Took about 5-6 hours total to do and was very tedious. But I do like the way it looks, hopefully it lasts for a little while.






CoachBuilder
+3 shackles (1.75” lift) Rear
Front diff drop spacers
Carrier bearing drop spacers
2 1/4” shims (.5” lift) front
Drop kit brackets for rear ABS lines
(2 separate ones) Definitely Needed
$450.00 +\- Shipped

UCA’s
Freedom OffRoad
$370.00 Shipped
These are definitely beefyer than I expected and like a lot for the price.

Stock


New




Diff drop spacers


Carrier Bearings spacers



Rear lift Shackles CB +3




Had to cut the exhaust tip off to clear leaf springs. Gonna get a new muffler in the future so I’ll just have something welded up then but for now it’s actually not bad.


ABS brackets in Rear
Loosen all lines before dropping the rear to install new shocks and shackles. Then finish lines last with these brackets.





Paid $400 for Shop time, Alignment, mounting & balancing wheels.

all said and done was just under 4K
Took about 8-9 hours start to finish and that’s including changing front rotors and brake pads. There’s a slight rub at full lock but I think we can fix that with a better alignment, we were running outta steam at the end and just got it close, taking it back so my buddy’s friend can dial it in. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions. Thanks.

I would have never been able to tell that they were painted if you didn't mention it.

 

Thanks fellas!

 

Looks good!
