PRG Lift - 2" Spacers and Rear Shackles

[GhostX]

I ordered the $258.00 PRG 2" spacer and shackle lift on Monday, January 25th, and it was delivered YESTERDAY!   

Great service!  I will update this thread with photos as I go through the unpack and install.

Well, the lift is in.  Took me all day to install going solo.  I will update later tonight or tomorrow with some pictures.

Loooong day.  Some of the Nissan torque values were ridiculous, especially getting the lower strut bolts out.

Pictures before/after to follow.

Like I said,  I wouldn't attempt to do this by yourself.  You can, no doubt, but it will take the good part of a day.  This install, front and rear took me about six hours.  I had to borrow a compressor and impact air tools, which helped.  I also borrowed a floor jack and jack stands, and doing the rear was tough solo.  Had to lift and adjust the rear differential after the shocks and shackles were removed, and then eyeball where the new shackles and shackle bolts went and slipped through as the leaf springs went up and down inside the new shackles.  Also, removing the rear muffler mount and then pulling the tailpipe towards center helps when removing/installing the passenger side shackle.  The kit did not come with instructions for installing the rear shackles, which of course I didn't realize until I got this far with the X jacked up.   I guess I was so excited about getting the front done I didn't think about the back!   NOOB!   No worries, as I logged on and looked at several "How To's" on thenewx.org, which helped tremendously.  

If anyone is going to attempt this lift on their own, PM me, as I am happy to discuss the high and low points of the install.  All in all, the quality of the PRG lift, and now having driven it about 300 miles, I am very happy.  Need to get a front end alignment, but thats it.  Had used 285/75/16 BFG A/T's installed, and I must admit the Ghost is starting to look off road capable.  Finally!
