![]() ![]() The install was delayed a bit because I didn’t have a 22mm socket on hand for the lower nut so had to buy one. The Bilstein 33-185552’s finally arrived as well, and I was able to install them last night. Steering does seem lighter and more direct with the CV’s disengaged on the street. ![]() Ended up using the double nut method to install the Warn supplied studs. I was going to re-use the factory studs but ended up over-torquing one. Quick update since I’m not breaking any new ground here.įinally got the Warn manual hubs installed last week. I’m leaning toward General Grabber ATX’s (with a $100 mail in rebate these will be cheap but open to suggestions) 31x10.5 Tires will be ordered once wheels are on the way. Pro Comp 15” steelies (also backordered) with a fun little paint project I have for them. Bilstein 33-185552 (backordered but should ship out this week) No joke - I was expecting it to be way stiffer than it is. I only have about 2 miles on the springs so far but initial impressions are that it feels almost stock just higher. It’ll be interesting to see how it looks once everything settled a bit. Either way I pulled the trigger, and everything was installed today.Īs you can see there is a little rake, however I figure once I get bigger tires with a full size spare out back, and load up with camping gear it should more or less even out. The Dobinsons seem to have similar specs to the OME springs, but others had reported about 2” of lift. After some additional research, and some feedback from fellow owners I decided on an off-the-beaten-path solution with Dobinsons front lift springs. After getting to know the car in stock form through this summer, doing a couple of minor mods (Curt hitch, interior LED’s etc), sorting out some overheating issues I ran into, and doing a ton of research here, Tyler’s YouTube channel, and some of the FB groups I started ordering parts for phase 1 of the modifications a few weeks ago.įor the rear I decided on the tried and true 9447 springs.įor the fronts after some deliberation I decided I didn’t want to do business with given the shipping cost gouging, and general lack of transparency in parts sourcing. ![]()
