Becky's Jeep Gets Lifted

"All Things Are Possible With Dave as Your Friend" - Thanks Dave!

We start the day by laying out all the parts and making sure everything was there. Notice the nice clean workbench? Since we've never done this before, Brad even thought it might be a good idea to.....



Yep... READ THE DIRECTIONS!

It was really nice of Dave to give up his day to help put the lift on. Together, they worked as a team. At times, it was a little confusing.. but overall, it was straight forward - just time consuming.




As with any good Jeep project, there was some custom fabrication involved. In this case.. there was some cutting.




Most good articles show a nice, neat garage with everything well laid out. That's not the real world. In the real world, you get dirty. The Jeep gets dirty. Tools get strung everywhere, and you generally wind up laying on the tools you need.




The job required aligning the parts just right, while keeping the jeep lifted enough so the body could be moved around for final precise alignment.




After much work back and forth, everything lined up and the lift was finally tightened down.




This job was a lot easier with air tools, power tools, and two people!




In the end, it was a job that Mr. Moose the Mastiff approved of. Now, it's time for the tummy tuck, the suspension lift, and the larger tires. But, that's for another time - in the future.
