Hey all. I am preparing to install a RK 3.5" Adventure Series I kit with Falcon 2.1 shocks, and Metal Cloak bump stops. I've watched several videos (some several times - love the [Banned Site] install videos), so I have a pretty good idea of the process, and I'm fairly handy. But, I can't find any videos, or tutorials specifically for this kit. Has anybody installed this kit, and if so, do you have any tips?
One thing I noticed, is that the instructions state to remove the passenger side drag link from the knuckle in order to drop the axle far enough to fit the new springs. However, in the Teraflex 4.5" Base Kit install video, they don't do this and seem to have plenty of room. Is this something I really need to do? @Kevin8086 did you all do this during the MC 3.5 Game Changer install?
Also, any tips for (as the instructions put it) putting on my big boy pants to get 300 lb-ft on the track bar jam nuts?
One last question, while I'm here -- How desperately will I need a front drive shaft? Is this one of those situations where, the first time I engage the front driveshaft, it's going to grenade itself? Or, can I get through a few easy (I'm in Florida) muddy trails to buy myself some time to recoup the savings account from the lift?
Thanks in advance.
Shout out to Chris at Alpha Dirt Offroad for getting the kit to me so quickly, at a great price!
