so here we go....

got the truck all done just need to put tires on it and get an alignment
[/IMG]
so here is the power steering line that has a ranger line to a toyo box... should of cost me 175 but the guy was a friend and hooked it up for 31 bucks!!! it has a detachable middle so if i bust a line i can just pay like a few bucks and get a new one! pretty sick
[/IMG]
we put the front end on a HI-JACK and here is a shot it has so much up travel its crazy
[/IMG]
had to eat so went to a place only 11 bucks

here is how it sits

its huge!!! so im going to try to take the body lift off to help, then on Saturday my bead-locks will show up... i found a set of IROKS im try to get so hopefully they will show up! on Monday i will have it aligned so that's going to be good but costly. its throwing codes at me cause after taking the IFS off there is no speed ring to tell it how fast its going so i have no spedo! it also has a vacuum leak i need to find from taking of the hubs and my air bag light is on!!! no clue so if anyone knows that would help out!
now next for my truck is to get shackles! does any one know where?

That thing's freakin huge! (That's what she said) Looks good though. If you're looking for typical lift shackles, you should be able to get them at your local parts store.

You couldn't get the tires off with the hi-lift cause its a fuggin sky scraper. Lol. That being said, i cant get my front to come off even lifting from my slider (articulating the suspension).

Put your trac bar in a lower hole on your axle end.

Yep, Belltech 6400s or part store knock-offs work as well.

The site says "set" so my guess is they're sold in pairs.
