footman:
Yeah baby, the brown santa just delivered my l;ift kit. The SYE and CV shaft are in transit and I hopefully will be picking up my beyyl skid tonight. I'd say mid Aug I'm going to take a vacation day and install. Do any of you guys have sone extra jack stands I can borrow? Who ever has done control arms, should I follow the directions and do one at a time or can I just drop the axel and do them all at the same time? Has anyone used the POR15? How fast does it take to dry? Well I think thats it for now.

I have a tall set of jack stands if you need to borrow em. do the control arms one at a time. if you take all of them out at the same time the axle may shift and then it can become a pain to get them re-aligned. as far as the por15, i've used it in a body shop situation before, but i can't remember the cure time. i think we let it sit overnight just to be safe. great product though.

One side at a time on the control arms or have ratchet straps available for trying to get the axle lined back up. When I've swapped axles I would have 3 or 4 ratchet straps all pulling in different directions to get things to line up.

I've got 6 jackstands, you can borrow some. I'll need a couple for some repairs to the taco.

From what I have read about POR15 it works great on rusted parts, but not worth crap on good metal. If you are planning on using it on stuff like your new skid, I wouldn't, it will just peel off. If your plan is to use it on your frame you'r probably ok. Let me know when you are ready for for the SYE, I have done a few of them now and can help you out.
