Hey all, finally, my lift kit is completed, my CNC work is done, and my kit is installed. More pics to be added soon.
2.2" total lift.
Lift kit installed by me...
FRONT (2.3"):
1/2" Subtle Solutions top hat spacers
1.7" Eibach Lifting Springs
Nameless strut tower brace
REAR (2.3"):
1" Anderson Design and Fabrication top hat spacers
1.4" Eibach Lifting Springs
1" subframe spacers designed and CNC'd by me
OTHER:
Primitive Racing skids (front, front lip, mid armor, rear diff)
For those wondering why 1" + 1.4" doesn't equal 2.3", it is because the subframe spacers reduce the effective lift height. The shock acts as a fulcrum, and the lower control arm as a lever. The fulcrum gets moved down 2.4", but the inner end of the lever gets dropped 1". So, the effective lift is reduced a little.
Thus, ACTUAL effective lift is about 2.3" - that's due to the wheels being farther down the ends of the "levers" (control arms).
Alignment came out great, so, my math worked out right. Everything worked out within range, and, exactly as expected. My rear is loaded down for the trip, because I wanted to see if I was still in spec (yes, -1.0° in a range of +0.3° to -1.3°).
