I have an addiction!

My pr44 will be shipped Thursday. Hopefully I can install my lift and pr44 next week. I need to hit some trails up.

Well I got my pr44 installed and my metalcloak 3.5 game changer lift. 👹 It took me 3 days to do by myself in a cold pole barn with a floor jack. The front took me 2 days to do..the rcv shafts suck at putting together, then had to find a new way to mount my stabilizer shock. I had a synergy high track bar mount welded on, but there was no where to install the stabilizer. Had to drill my own hole and make a spacer. I have some tweaking to do with all the arms and alignment, but it actual rides nice. Way better than I expected.
 
Just a teaser... I need to get pics in the day time.

Thanks everyone. Seems like my front is sitting higher than the rear tho. I may end up getting the spring correction for the rear. They bow towards the back due to pinion angle. Is that common thing?
Also need to dial in the track bar adjustments to center the axles.. really need to adjust most of the arms for pinion angle too. At least set them close before the alignment is done.
 
Some pics of the final product.

I need some grab handles and steps now to get in.
Another question.. anyone think it would have been worth a long arm kit? I am almost considering getting the long arm kit to add on for better road driving. Or maybe just at least drag link flip?
 
Eh... The JKS relocation is adjustable to your current or future setup. I don't think the MetalCloak one is.

I think part of my problem is the rear arm adjustment. It looks like it moved my rear axle back about an inch. My 37s rub m bumper now. If I move it forward a bit, it will help the spring alignment better. If it still bows, I will try the metalcloak correction bracket and retainer. The JKS is nice, but price is high.. funds are low from the rest of my build. They said it will raise it about 3/8 of an inch too. That will be good since the fronts sitting higher.
 
Well I'm wishing I went long arm kit now after reading up on the advantages on and off road. But I'm going to try dialing in my kit and see how it drives. Just wish I had a garage with level floors, heat, lift.. and o yeah.. it's to tall to fit in now. lol. I put my lift on and had to put on my stock wheels on to get out of the garage and put the 37s on in the driveway.
