Pictures of my weekend (and throught last week) mods ... not much CST left on my rig

[mikegronholz]

1 - Custom rear Deavers, Bilstein 5150s (14" travel that I can now use all of) and HUGE 4.5" bump stops

2 - Extended driveshaft (all new 3" steel tube)

3 - Polished front skid ... by hand ... did this one myself (going to do the bull bar skid plate next !!!)


And starting Wednesday, we are adding ... Bilstein 9100 series coilovers with 18" Eibach ERS springs to give me another 1.5" up front to level out the Deavers and Bilstein 9100 series shocks for the rear.

Did you have problems with the CST lift?

[mikegronholz]

nope, just struck a deal with a manufacturer so to speak. Also, I have never been a big fan of "spacers". So I am doing away with them all. The kit is sound though, just my particular preference.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes seeing the progress that you are making.

what kind of paint did you use to black out the drive train??? Id like to do this its looks cool

any help with the type of tools to remove the shaft itself

[mikegronholz]

The titan U-joints are standard spicer u-joints, nothing real fancy, couple of clips, couple of bolts, and it will come right out.

The paint that was used was just gloss enamel, again, nothing fancy. Just trying to prevent it from rusting up. I will probably go over it with POR-15 in the near future though (and maybe the read end too just to keep the forever gloss about it).
