I have a question i just recently purchased a rough country lift kit for my 87 Bronco2 comes with the extended Pittman arm and the nitro shocks about how long should it take to install and will I need to get new longer drive shafts keep in mind this is my first lift kit ever kinda been in a hole for awhile cuz of a bad marriage granted im excited about this kit I just want to do it right the first time
 
Give yourself a whole day if you have 2 people. driveshaft's can be build from junkyard shafts believe its in the tech library. Might get away with the front shaft being good but no way on the back.
 
Right on thanks a lot I know I can build just about anything I need I work in a fab / machine shop there's a few junk trucks in the storage yard I'm positive I can get my hands on a decent shaft I'll be glad to get rid if them problematic c/v shaft style u joints thanks a load man
 
I plan on chopping the top I can post a concept drawing of my ideas and the bumper I'm building for it any helpful tricks and tips are much appreciated
 
I did mine in a day with the help of a buddy. Make sure you have a grinder to grind off the old rivets. I like the RC lift, its a lil stiff though.

Make sure and get your brake lines extended. There is a tip in the tech library.
 
Id spray any nuts and bolts the day before with some pb blaster or whatever penetrant you like :icon_thumby:
 
Another question my engine dose not run well at low rpm sputters and surges until I put the hammer to the floor and then it goes real good I can't pin point the cause I replaced o2 sensor and new plugs and wires also a new egr sensor and fuel filter idk what else to look into maybe timing but I'm not sure I'm no mechanic I just know enough to get into trouble

Clean your MAFS if you havnt yet.
 
Well I can't find the break line extension tip in the library can someone send me a link to it out something please
 
I just did a skyjacker lift on mine, I prefer using a sawzall to cut the rivets off then a punch to knock them out, the penetrating oil tip is important and Winston Churchills words "we shall go on to the end, we shall never surrender" Hope it goes smoothly.
