It finally came from UPS today, my 3 inch aal from Rustys

I can put most of it in myself no problem..
But please tell me, how the hell do you put the add a leafs in??

Any walkthroughs or videos?

 

Do a simple search using the forums search feature, pages upon pages of walk throughs, also sift through some of the build threads by other members.

Congrats on the lift, welcome to the madness!

 

Im searching and searching, but cannot find anything but bastard packs.
The instructions included are for new leaf packs and who needs instructions anyways.

I took a few pictures of the new kit Ill post in a bit...And pictures of the new tires!

 

It will work the same as a bastard pack. 2 C-clamps to hold the pack together, cut the spring clamps, unbolt the spring pin then take it all apart. I would use this time to clean your leafs and maybe coat em with some of that graphite paint (can get it at Tractor Supply). Put the add a leaf in, new spring clamps, new spring pack bolt then put them back on!

 

Does the add a leaf go on the top or bottom of the pack??

 

Bottom.

 

So I clamp the pack and take all the brackets off...
Do I have to take the pack off the truck? or can I leave it on and once I get the pack apart do I take the clamps off...

I dont have it apart to look at it, and its to dark outside for me to go look.

Thanks For all your help guys..
If you were here Id give you all a couple beers

 

Bottom, inbetween the helper (overload) spring and the 2nd one from the bottom. When you reinstall the pin and tighten down, the pack will conform to the shape of the AAL.

I guess you could do it while still on the truck, I never have, seems safer & easier to take it out.

And you can send me a beer anyways.

 

Whats the point of the overload spring if its flat?

 

 

 

Last line of defense if the owner has over packed or hitched on more weight then the vehicle is capable of.

And you'll be happy with Rustys shocks. I'm running a set and they're great!

And glad to see some Goodyear rubber on there, thadda boy!

 

Goodyear has never done me wrong...Except for their Wrangler radials..
The Rustys kit looks awesome but i forgot to order boots I wonder if my PepBoys would sell em?

I found the proper instructions online from rustys website...


My biggest problem right now is my exhaust manifold...Its cracked at the collector. I dont wanna take it off I wonder if it can be fixed while mounted..

 

i like the treads! i JUST got a set of 235/75 wrangler duratrac's and i freakin love em! they throw some serious tera!

 

Nice!! Look at all these classy people making classy decisions!

And as for the manifold, I don't think so. Your best bet is a scrapyard one, if your trying to keep things on the skinny.
