    2" lift

    Installed 4x4 intelligence SLS 2" lift spacer and Dobinson springs and shocks from Suspension Stuff.

    I have few questions and maybe some people had installed the same product:
    1. I tried to install the extension bracket for the brake and ABS line but the brake line is already on the limit and dont think can pull more. So I did put the extension bracket. It it ok to pull so can install the bracket or Is it ok without the extension bracket?

    2. Do I need to install the bump stop? I didnt install because I dont have the welder and dont know to weld too

    3. It was too late when we started the project so ony install the spring and shock for the right front side. The car seems level even the left side still on the original set. Is this normal? Is it ok to drive it?

    You need to install the bump stop extensions for the rear when I got mine they were drilled and tapped.

    I had trouble with the brake ext. as well. I managed but very hard, keep trying, follow the brake line up the chassis rail & pull a little at a time. you will get some slight movement there. Then I had to SLIGHTLY bend the pipe around as it comes from the chassis rail behind the rear suspension. Be very careful not to crease the pipe. I then cut some small rubber hose & put it under the brake line to stop any rubbing. You then unclip the line in the plastic bracket thinggy (technical term) & that sits slightly lower, not fully clipped in like before. (I hope this makes sense, see pic.) This was the passenger side. The drivers side has a little more give.
    With the bump stops, I would install before going off road as the extra height may damage the air bag on full articulation. I haven't gotten to welding it yet, so I have used thick cable ties (2 per stop) but i will get it done soon.
    Don't know about no3, I installed a 2" lift on the front & it is a huge difference. The springs are the same length, just less compression.

    Thanks DI5CO. I will try again this weekend.

    Anyway, installed the front passenger shock and spring last night. Much easier than the first. I guess after you did one side you know what to do for the other side.

    The car is nice and firm now.
