          I threaded then both on part way with my hands before tightening.

          Hoping it's just camera playing tricks.

                      I'll have to check!

                      the kit was advertised as a 1.5" drop.

                            Update time!

                            Poked around a bit over the last couple days.

                            Scored a half day of work today so I've been working on cleaning up the front strut housings

                            86a23995effb3f1f8ab9096c3603aaa0.jpg

                            36 grit flap disk and some elbow grease.

                            Rears are all reassembled.

                            Waiting on a few more parts from Blunt. They shipped out today.

                            Over the weekend I disassembled the fronts the fast way!!!

                                Thanks for cleaning those up. My first drive on h&r sports with bilstein sports was "what have i done, this is too stiff!" But within a couple miles the shocks softened up a bit and it was great. You should enjoy the additional sharpness over stock.

                                  Rear shocks were easily collapsible by hand by my 10yr old step son!!! 300,000+ miles will make them a bit mushy I'd say.

                                  Even though they appeared to have been submerged in the lake for 20yrs I had both clean in about 20-30 mins each. No holes/soft spots.

                                  Now I sit and wait for parts!

                                        I can't say I've dealt with many vendors in the past with as good service as Blunt.

                                        In 20+ years in my industry I've dealt with plenty that just plain sucked!

                                          Put in a few hours today.

                                          Works a bit slow.....good for garage time though.

                                          e12bce1286578e7f361067a743ed2753.jpg

                                          Brand new everything except for rotors.

                                          Had to make new hard brake lines for both fronts.

                                          Drivers side goes from the ABS pump to the soft line.

                                          Passenger side I spliced up inside the engine bay.

                                          I'm outta brake fluid and I can't find my bleeder tubing!!!

                                          I'll grab some tonite.
