Mod Update:

Had the Kw's and camber arms installed yesterday. Install went smooth though it did take a while. Install was done by my friend in the garage. Handling has improved dramatically without the ride comfort suffering. I even had to weigh everything for the heck of it and it looks like a savings of 8 pounds in the rear and 12 pounds in the front. So 20 pounds of weight savings ftw!

Going to go for an alignment next week so I will post up those setting then. For compression I have them set at 5 click open from full hard on the front and rear. For rebound I'm at 3 clicks open from full hard on the front and 5 clicks open from full hard in the rear. The only downside adjustment wise is that the front rebound needs panels to be removed to gain access. Highly recommend this setup as it totally transforms the handling. Makes it more like a car now if that makes sense.

The KW's:




Installing the rear:

Stock:





KW:





Comparison shot:



The shocks bolt up next to the spare tire well. Left the clips out of the carpet for easy rebound adjustment:





Rear shocks installed:



Time for the front:



Stock:





KW:





Camber arm comparison:



All front components removed:



Fender liners removed for camber arm nut access on passenger side:



Everything in:



Iphone pics from this morning before work:





The wheels are still a couple months out so will hopefully have some better pics soon with the stockers.

You got that right. I'm liking the concept of making a ridiculous vehicle more ridiculous.

Pic Time:

Went to my father-in-laws farm today to help out and took some pics when we first arrived. The M is lowered as far as KW recommends it's just the dirt road is uneven making the driver's side appear one quarter of an inch higher than it really is. Anyways enjoy these mediocre pics with the wife's point and shoot.
