Well, it doesn't really pull a big wheelie, but it will lift the front wheels briefly.

It will snap your neck and leave about a six foot black mark on the driveway, gain speed up hill and run over 26mph with stock tires!

Is it Wednesday yet?

Lift kit came today. Don't know if I will be able to install it before weekend. Work is getting in the way.

Got the lift installed. Now I have to figure out why brake lock keeps catching when I try and stop hard.

27.5 mph with the GPS. This is an 8" lift with 22" tires on 10" wheels. I am thinking of adding wheel spacers for a little more stability. Any thoughts? Fender flares on the way.

**** its hot and humid in Texas! Why have I lived here my whole life?

That looks good, glad to see you got it together. If you are talking about the parking mechanism, it is probably cause there is more tension on brake cables and you are gonna have to do some adjusting to the adjustment rod.

Looks Good!!!

I second the adjustment on the brake cables.. With an 8" lift you might need a brake cable extender bracket to be able to get the brakes back into line.. Also check the clearance between the lock pawl and ratchet.. With both pedals at rest, there should be at least .060" clearance between the tip of the pawl and the ratchet teeth..

I have not tried yet, but how do you adjust the Parking Brake Catch? When the brake pedal is pressed hard it catches on the last tooth without pushing the parking portion of the pedal.

I fixed it. Thanks anyway. There was too much slack in the linkage allowing too much pedal travel.
