TAPDH3T SOA Build

[06 H3]

your running stock spring hangers in the front? The only way you can level it is probably by cranking the **** out of your torsion bars.

That's what I said!! He said that it looked like I had the extended Rancho shocks and that the hangers had more room with the camber.. He said he thinks he can bring the front another 1.5 inches easy and not compromise the ride.. He said of I didn't like it he would help me cut and weld the new mounts.. Worth a try!!! Now the first pic I showed was after it was done since then the springs have settled and lowered some..

I will find the website for the brake lines for u.. I almost got mine done I'm 86% done.. Y'all want some preview or wait and have it all at once???

Cool hoping to have my kit on next weekend.

U can drill a new hole in the front hangers to raise the spring eyes about 1.5"....seen that done on a Colorado. Afterward cut off the excess.

I would fab some new sway bar links to put it back at the stock angle....it might collide with your shocks at full droop.

Brake lines can be bought from Crown performance.

Strange shock arrangement...never seen that before. I guess as long as they are the right length, u shouldn't have any issues. However it looks like u might be driving around with 80% of the stroke exposed...doesn't leave u much droop.

Yea I didn't like it at all.. I will be replacing it with the way we discussed and the pics that u sent me.. And will more then likely drill the holes to raise it that extra inch.. I immediately noticed how long the shocks were and new that was going to be nogood.. I don't know why a company would make a kit like this.. Expecially with the ubolts facing down .. I will resolve these issues Monday!!!

They have everything except the extended brake lines.. I have a list and part numbers at the top of this thread but the spring perches are wrong...

You guys need the part numbers I can post them again

 

[TAPDH3T]

Well plan on finishing the SOA today.. (Hopefully w/ no hiccups!)
As of yesterday I'm now not to worried about the front because I might have ran down a lead on completing a straight axel.. To help get my ducks in a row.. If someone has completed their SAS can u let me know what axel u used.. I would like to have my front lock diff and need to know about what cost of material and labor was..

I am a nube at all this stuff and maybe a missed the answer to this(even though I've read though this whole thread). But aren't the shocks supposed to be above the axle too?
