Realift Relocators - Install + Review

Spot on!

Doing everything at once will save you hours of assembly/disassembly of the same exact parts. Not to mention taking tools out, putting them away, etc etc

Start Friday after work and start digging in! But preparation is key, so read through the lift instructions thoroughly and make sure you have all the tools needed. On example is that when you detach the brake lines, it's possible you'll have to reflare them...so make sure you have the tool or you're SOL. Having a buddy with you will help immensely on this kind of work.

Well I'm not sure why you would have to reflare any brake lines but I didn't even disconnect any brake lines when I lifted my truck! That's one thing I don't like having to have to deal with is bleeding brakes and brake fluid getting everywhere.

Come to think about it, I don't know why I did either. I just checked the RCX install instructions and they tell you to separate the hard line from the rubber, but I can't honestly remember why I listened to them for that part of the install.

You probably took them apart to remove the factory bracket but I just cut mine off because you didn't need them apart to install the new brackets.

we should seriously re-write the instructions for a GMT-400 version. It sounds like there are quite a few things that you can do differently/easier.

That's basically what we did with the tips thread....

(Which should be stickied IMO)
