Well it took 6-1/2 hours but I managed to get the kit painted. When I was masking off the joints, I found a c-clip that wasn't seated. The split side was seated but the opposite side was out. You may want to check all your clips before installation.

 

Painted the rear track bar bracket, but will probably be awhile to install it. Still need to drill it out and make the rear track bar.. Waiting on rod ends...

 

Now that is yeller!

ima sucker for safety yellow...it usually only goes on stuff i make, but these are just a yellow zinc coating as far as I could tell..Thats not gonna happen...

 

I went a little bit redder.



But you would probably like the shocks.

 

i wish i had painted my coils before welding them in.... but o well. Lol I like how we both used our garage door track.

 

Garage door tracks are the best!

 

What kind of paint and prep go into painting the coils? The brackets are cake.

I always use Rustoleum, but coils would get beat to crap even the powder coatings failing on mine. Id just primer them and paint...Bout as good as theyll get without powdercoating.

 

Put on the metalcloak rear track bar bracket and laughed....





Its obsurdly tall and my axle will be 2" off center until I get my damn rod ends in to finish my track bar...I wish that bracket wasnt so tall. I may have to cut it down and grind the sides for clearance. This looks to be a newer model as the older ones just had 2 bolt holes. This damn thing is like a 6.5" rear trackbar raise. Just stupid. If i can get it mounted in the next hole down itll be more like 3.5 wich will match my front better. Its so high i might not even have to bend my track bar if i leave it that high... Its an ok bracket, but kind of a pain for my set up. I have to remove shock and control arm and whole track bar just to get it in.
