So, I did a thing…….and Hello…..My PPV project.

[DesertfoxAZ]

Haha….got the work order. Engine was replaced with a manufactured engine at 96k miles. So this engine has 39k miles on it.

Well, I know I went overboard. Thank goodness for a discount. Otherwise these would have cost as much as my Tahoe.

Guess I am installing shocks, swaybars and links this weekend.

 

[DesertfoxAZ]

Swaybars, links and drop spindles also going on today.

 

[DesertfoxAZ]

So here is my first big updates:

First: installed cig liters and trim in middle of the dash.

So I finally got everything in, so Friday it was time to tackle the suspension.

So here is the component list:
McGaughy’s 2” drop spindles for the front.
McGaughy’s 2” drop spring for the rear.
MOOG front swaybar Links
Hellwig front swaybar
Hellwig rear swaybar with their adjustable links
Fox 2.5” coilover adjustable shocks with remote Resi for front.
Fox 2.5” adjustable shocks with piggyback resi.
265/70R17 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra

Started by taking all preload out the coil overs so there would be zero height increase.

Out with the old……

In with new.

Decided to mount the resi in front on the frame. I think it looks good just picking out.

Had to go back a couple times triming the dust shield. But the drop spindles went in after the shocks.

 

[DesertfoxAZ]

Drivers side came out sweet.

 

[DesertfoxAZ]

And the back side needed sooooo much love. One rear shock was seized, the other was blown so bad gravity was collapsing it.

Had to turn the rear drivers side piggy back to clear the tire.

 

[DesertfoxAZ]

So this is 1” below PPV ride height ( 2 by spring, 1 by tire). Eagle 265/60r17

Time for new shoes.

Oh this is looking good…..

Desperately need an alignment……I am falling for the stance already.
