RCX lift kit for The Duke

[highperf4x4]

I guess I should be doing a thread on this install huh? Can I just start in the middle with a pic of the brake lines? Blame it on my ADD. I just took them in and had 6" longer hoses installed on my lines.

Am I seeing new hoses installed in old crimps in that pic?

It looks that way huh? They are discolored from being welded onto the metal line. Or brazed or whatever they do. It was done right. Pic just looks deceptive.

The new 9/16 bolts for the drop brackets wouldn't fit through the slots of the original mounts so I ran a 9/16 drill bit through the slots at an angle working it up and down to expand them just enough to get the bolts through. Took about 15 seconds.

As for those bump stop mounts I cut them on three sides with a grinder and cutting wheel and then chopped them across the top wherever I could. Once the majority of the bracket was gone I "undercut" the top back to where I wanted it from the bottom side with the grinder/cutting wheel. Easy work. About 10 minutes per side maybe.

I see the bottom of the bump stop bracket needs to cut out completely or the new drop bracket will hit it.

thats the one thing i hate about the rcx lift all the cutting involved.

It really wasn't too bad. I might have spent an hour tops on all of it. But this isn't really a street truck anymore and it won't be going back to stock. The kit was like half the price of the BDS and I'm pretty impressed so far.
