91' Marathon 4" lift and 20" tires build
So what started as a simple day project, ended up being a two day event.
4" block lift, since options are limited for a marathon, and I primarily use this off-road, I just needed a bit more than a stock lift to get around the ranch without worrying about ripping out something from underneath. New tires and an old one Before lift and tires Jacked it up Remove front end (seems like just a month or two ago I installed this new one) Biggest issue was getting the "drag link" ball joint out. I had issues with the bolt spinning. Ended up soaking in liquid wrench, and using a set of vice grips to apply enough pressure to stop the spin. I then ended up drilling out the spindle arm to get the same ballpoint stud to seat properly. After that, it was a simple bolt on Jacked the rear up, and had to remove the cover plate over the back end. Which meant I had to remove my bed to actually get it out of the tight space it was wedged into. (Not my blood, last pig I shot. Cleaned everything as I went ) This shock will need replacing, ended up using a strap wrench to get the upper nut off. If I didn't have a buddy assisting today, this would have been a show stopper I did a lot of reading up here, and found that one thing not addressed in the minimal instructions, was the axle and engine rotating. So ended up using the jack to support the diff, and hooked up each side individually, then torqued everything down. Working on the other side Test drive by my driver Next project, a $400 dollar box of goodies from Scotty Last edited by TreeBass; 03-08-2014 at 09:04 PM.. Reason: Added pic |
