    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi Everybody, Time to give you feedback ;) I have finally installed the lift kit as it came (blocks + leafs +4"). For those who are afraid to instal this, it's quiet easy even without inscrutions but it takes a lot of time when you never did it before. Most nuts are stuck and they can drive...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Great explanation again ! Thanks you. About the boots, I agree with you. I saw some people who were complaining about mud and water that was stuck in it. But I guess it's les bad than stones who can scratch the chrome shaft. I saw some videos on youtube about the "shimming" thing. It looks...

    Lift kit for M1009

    Hi, Thank you for your help ! I would be nice to have a feedback of someone who has the same car and who did the same transformations. I agree with you, why making the axle weak ; but the question who matters is : "is the axle weak or not that much" ? Thank you for the article, it's very...
