1989 Comanche Lynchburg Va. Help.


Recommended Posts

Ok guys I know it's been a while I had mechanical issues and I was waiting for parts... Now I know most of you hate rustys but my friend works for them and got me good deals.

I got a 4.5 " lift kit

Adjustable track bar

Adjustable control arms and

Single stearinh stablizer

All to be installed this weekend the reason, (any info on things I might run into with this lift while installing would be awesome). I didn't go SOA because I'm not looking to offroad to much and I didn't need that high of a lift.

 

After the installation with pics this weekend I will be on the look out for front winch bumper and possibly fender flares any ideas on with of those?

There are a couple of different winch bumpers out there. I just built a JCR weld it yourself bumper and it turned out well. They also have the same bumper which they have already welded for you. It is made of 3/16th steel plate and it wraps around the fender to give better protection. You will have to trim the fender a little bit but that's not hard at all.

 

You can check out my build Green Monster to see what mine looks like. I added the hoops myself but JCR will sell you a kit for it if you want.

 

As far as fender flares goes I am still trying to decide which ones I want.

 

Good luck,

front shocks

coil springs

adjustable trac bar

adjustable control arms

steering stabalizer

extension sway bar brackets

problems I ran into

I can't get drivers side shock screwed all the way in it won't tighten anymore also won't losen so thats a problem, also bolts that go through control arms wouldnt fit through new control arms had to go find 9/16ths bolt to fit through, and for the life of me I can't get the track bar pin in through the bolt. other then that everything went ok now for the rear only problem with that is I put the new leaf spring packs up to the old ones and it doesnt look long enough hopefully they will fit when I pull the old ones off.
