[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 677851, member: 6317"] My gears showed up in Cali on Friday and from what I was told I should expect the replacements to head my way by middle of this week. I'll keep my fingers crossed... In other news I got out to the shop today with the intention of getting the coilovers mounted. I knew the rears would be the easiest so I started there. Then I moved to the front to find out what I thought was going to be an issue was exactly that. The way I had braced up the front frame section after doing my 4 link was hitting the backside of the coilovers. So needless to say that had to change. So I cut out one brace and moved the shock tabs to the backside of the tube they were originally on. This was something I had wanted to do for a while to give the shocks a little angle rather than being perfectly straight up at ride height. A lot of grinding an cussing later I ended up with the first one mounted at approx. 9* back and 8* inwards. Nice...next shock. ****...not only is the same brace in the way on the driver side, but the hydro lines coming from the orbital need to be rerouted slightly AND the orbital is going to contact the springs too. DAMNIT...I get all that moved then come to find out the braided line coming out of the shock to the remote reservoir is trying to take up the same real estate as my air filter on the turbo. Not sure what I'm going to do there, but it will either be a short run of metal tubing to move the filter out the way, or what is probably not what Ryan @ Accutune would want me to do which is to remove the braided hose and install 90* fitting at the shock body. I'll figure that out later... I've already sent a lot of measurements to Ryan to decipher regarding my setup as it sits in these photos.
