So i decied to go with the skyjacker/mdx lift set up. I recieved it on wednsday and was going to tackle it on friday. First off if i was to do this over again i would start by opening the box and taking out the intructions, go to the closest bathroom and wipe my a$$ with them.
I started at 8pm with the drivers rear first, it was pretty easy disassemble everything and get the spacer bolted in. Reassembly on the other hand was one problem after another, nothing would line up no matter how much i tweaked, pushed, pulled, cussed and threw things. So at midnight i come to a realization i have a whole new problem, the driveshaft came unseated!:eek: Yeah breaking the band, peeling back the boot and geting it to reseat was a fun task! Thank god my girlfriend was here during this whole thing to help out, yeah shes that cool!! So at 3am i decied to pack it up for the night having finsihed nothing and the rear drivers still in peices!
At 8am i called a very good friend of mine to come bail me out. He didnt even look at the instructions, he took everything that i actualy got together back apart again and reassembled it in ways i didnt even think of. On the passenger rear he didnt even take apart half the things the instructions said was needed and we had that one knocked out in 30min. The front went just fine no problems at all we had it all done by 2pm.
Was it worth it? right now i say no, but thats because im angry about the problems i had. Im sure i will love those 2 extra inches this winter when im plowing through iowa snow.
