HEY I BOUT A COMPLETE LIFT KIT FROM UNIVERSAL CAR LIFT 7 INCH I DONT KNO HOW MUCH AM I SPOSE TO AJUST ON THE REAR ARMS BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH IT FOR HOURS

3/4 of an inch all of them

for every inch of lift add 1/4" to the lower trailing arm and double on the top one.

@ 7in kit.................what size wheels u got...and what all came wit the kit??

i dont have the wheels yet ..but the kit came with front and rear arms front and rear spring shocks and all that other stuff

U will only get about 5inches out of it!!

yeah i kinda figured that because the springs really not that much bigger than the originals but ..i guess im just going to install the arms on without extending them ..and see wat it look like when im done .. .

FINISH INSALLING THE SHOCKS AND SPRINGS AND LET IT DOWN ..THIS IS WAT IT LOOK LIKE

I KNO IT CAN GO HIGHER ...WAT WOULD I NEED ?? I THOUGHT THE COMPLET LIFT FROM UNIVERSAL CAR LIFT WAS GOING TO BE ALL I NEED BUT WAT ELSE COULD I DO ?

SPINGS NOT SITTING ON THE AXEL RIGHT ...STILL CANT GET THEM ARMS RIGHT

your springs do that cause as you go higher and change your pinion angle( by adjusting the arms) you turn the axle. so you can either relocate the spring perches or ride like that and hope for the best.

ok i think im going to order some 5 inch cups to go alone with the new springs and arms ...i thought the kit with the springs was going to be enoght but i guess not ...the rear end come down a long was with the arm so why would they send them little ass springs ?

its not about cups or bigger springs, they will sit crooked as well. when you adjust your pinion , you turn your whole axle assembly so the driveshaft is still ined up properly with the lift. so even with cups or springs they will sit crooked, so all you gotta do is buy some coil spring perches or relocate the ones you have and weld them in place right under the new location of the spring. and you dont really need to be any higher anyways, but i do not know what your plans are.

The back of ur car is gonna need to come up a good bit for ur wheels to be centered...bcuz they are too far back!!

yes u right ...i just order some 5 inch cups do u think that would give me the lift im looking for

ok ima keep that in mind but i dont think im going to need to ..because if i lift it alittle more my axel should be str8 so the springs sit right ..ill see when the cups get here

How exactly are u trying to sit....do u have any pictures of caprices that have the look ur trying to go for??

i dont think he gets the fact that as he goes higher he will extend the arms more and the axle will be more tilted then now. by goin up 5 more inches your axle will not straighten. you gotta center the wheel like trace said and then adjust the upper arm properly depending on how much you did the lowers. and then your axle will be tilted backwards. or maybe im not understanding the problem he is trying to show in the picture talking. and when trace said the rear is gonna have to come up i think he is talking about in a forward direction to center it and not higher.

Its two ways he can center his wheel back...if he goes higher(but u would have to do the front of the car as well)...or if he adjust the trailing arms in some(best way to go...IMO)!!

yeah i understand it i just want it higher ...i bout the kit thinkin that was it. But the spring they gave me really arent that big so i order some cup im going to put them in , and see wat happens ..if i have to relocate the spring mounts or watever there called i will


i want to sit like this do u think i will need spindles ?

Yeah, you're gonna have to relocate the perches, get the spindles and extend your drive line.

Ur gonna need 1500 spindles to sit like that red bubble!!

ok ive been reading on them .....i kno ucl have them but could i get them of a truck or s10 somtthin like that

look in the for sale section, there are some for sale on the first page

ok but i kno i probly can pull some from the junk yard ...i just dont kno wat kind of truck i was thinkin silverado or s10 but im not sure wat kind of truck can i get them from ???

no you need the 1500 lift spindle, that gonna be tough to find in the junkyard. when people say 1500 spindle they are meaning the 1500 lift spindle. and the one in the for sale is a good deal

and i believe its the 88-98 2wd so you can keep the same lug pattern

so wat r u saying r they custom made or do any truck come stock with them ?

man they r custom made for people that wanted to lift there trucks but can be used on cars....very highly doubt you gonna find lifted spindles in a junkyard..they arent stock

U need a 1500 LIFT spindle...u have to order them...they dont come factory on trucks....so u wont find them in the junkyard...and u gonna have to switch out ur balljoints to get the spindle to work right...END THREAD!!

ok this i dont get if u said ajust them 3/4 of a inch ....longer then the originals ..how could i if they are alreday longer then the stock arm by more then 3/4 of a inch

man thats why i don't bite into that lift kit shit no more

Just put them on without extending them!!

do u have them arms on your car ??? your shit is sitting high wat did u use to do your your ift sorry for all the queston im only 18 and i do all my work bymyself with the help of people info some time ....

check me out !!! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3120814

ucl Cup can in yesterday i installed them in today ...not finish all the way need to weld the cups in there just sitting there ..just got some pics fa yall

Run them airshock lines thru ur frame rail...them pipes gonna put a hole in em!!

do all bubbles pipes run up over the rearend like that? i just wondering if it was possible to run them straight back?

yeah i think you can i just notice in my pic it look like it can be ran str8 back but i had them done when it was lowerd thats why mine r like that

Pretty much all cars pipes are ran like that...to give room for the rear end to go up and down!!

thats y i haven ran my airlines to my airshox yet cuz im waitin to see were the exhaist gona be cuz the heat will put a hole in them lines real easy...trace is there a way to run em thru the frame n then bring em up by the license plate? cuz im puttin the nozzle behind my license plate holder that coms down to put gas in (1 thing i luv bout gbodys)

There should be a hole in the frame rail(no the side)... next to the shock.....put it in there...there are a few holes on the frame rail(on the bottom)...it will help u guide the line to the last hole on the frame rail that leads parallel to the end of the gas tank...and run it along the body til u reach the license plate...best way i know to run airshock lines to the back.....oh yeah...make sure u put tape on the open end of the airshock before u run them...thats so u dont get any unnecessary trash in the line...i always tape the ends as soon as i take the shocks out the box!!

o ok. just seem like your pipes would breathe better straight. but i just wanted know if anyone ever ran their straight, how yours ran trace?

yeah if they where the straight that would help with letting the exhaust out faster

Its a lot of cats i know that dump the pipes b4 the rear end!!

ok i got another questoin for u guys ...i just broke my front end apart and pulled the front spring ...so i compare them with the new ones they r the same length ...but the new ones from ucl has more coils then the old ones ...so im thinkin should i use my old ones with the cups i bought or should i just install the new one and will it lift it like it should ???? or can i install the new ones with the cups ..and suggestions anyone??

Factories with cups!!

ok but do u kno the diffrence between the spings ???...to me the ones from UCL are stiff as hell

U just answered ur own question!!

yep, i'm still stuck on tips though

does anyone know whereto get some shock extender for the rear of a bubble ...i seem to notice my shock is kinda max out i dont thinki have to relocate ..i only needbout 1 inch or 2 more .any suggestions anyone??
