I ordered the shackle kit for the sense of ease. I want to keep the brand new stock Bilsteins, I really like the AAL though, I think the shackles will actually make you a tad higher in the front. If you can run stock shocks with no brake line extensions it would be a no brainer to go AAL. Also the cost of either isn't bad so it would be an easy change (or addition if it's possible!) Spacers/coils up front & AAL/Shackles in back = one nice cheap lift!

Dan, Was wondering if you got your install done and how it went? Could you post some pics of the finished product and give your opinions on the difficulty of doing this lift yourself etc...

Well,
Man this weekend really sucked for me as far as the lift is concerned. The Friday the 13th carried over the entire weekend. On Friday by the time I got into my space at the hobby shop and started to take the spring off the guy asked how long it will take me. I told him about 4 hours because I am taking pics and writing down the tools needed to do the thing. He said unless I can do that amount of work in 2 hours then I shouldn't start. So I put the connecting rod back onto the front sway bar, tighened everything back up and then left. The nice thing is that I didn't have to pay.
I talked to my dad and his friend has a driveway but no garage that I could have used to do the lift as it was suppost to be nice the entire weekend up there the last time he heard. Well it rained all day on Saturday and then it was crappy out side on Sunday so I couldn't do the lift then. I'm totally disappointed as there are a lot of people there were waiting for me to get this thing on this weekend. If I didn't have to take the wife up there for the baby shower then it would have been on for sure. (I'm not complaining about taking her there as we got a lot of nice things for the baby). So now I have to wait until Wednesday to get it put on. I don't care how tired I am it's going to be put on that day. I got the lift in the back of the truck and then I'll be going to the hobby shop to do it. I might just make the long drive down to the one in Oceana to get it on since they open at 9 am compaired to the one here at NOB which opens at something like 11 am.

Damn it. Fired again. I'll get it on by Wednesday. Sorry for the delay. Seems like there are a lot of people waiting to see what it looks like. I guess I can say I'm the first one to get one of these from them so I also have to send in a report to Jane along with Pics.

Maybe they only made 2
I will be placing my order for the AAL kit here this week and then just wait for the break lines. I can handle the ABS cable extensions. I just want to make sure I get the lift before they run out again.

Actually the ABS cable extensions shouldn't be that difficult. Just need to make sure you make good water proof splices.

That's what I figure. I am confident in my wiring/soldering skills, so it won't be a problem. I'm pretty sure I could even find break lines that would work, but that seems to be too much trouble in my mind. I'll just wait for them.

I replaced the rear shocks with Rancho 9000's. I picked it up from the shop today. I've been staring at it all day. Your all going to be very happy with the products.
Since we know new shocks are needed with the AAL, is that to have full articulation or to prevent the shocks from being ripped apart? Any ideas on a Bilstein model that will work yet?

With the shackle lift you do not need new shocks. I haven't looked into getting replacement Bilsteins. I would like to get them though, because they are one of the best shocks for the $$.
