Default Order of work

I have the Teraflex 3in full flex arm lift, Coast front and rear drive shafts, and the Teraflex big brake kit with Crown brake lines. My plan was to install the lift first, then drive shafts followed by the brake kit. I think for me it would be easier to start one project and finish it before starting another. I understand that I might end up doing twice or three times the work but well I guess I want to know if my line of thinking is correct. Anyone got any input...

I would go inside out.....start with the DSssssss

Then its kind of a pick'em although you might want to do the brakes either first or at the same time ideally ( you will have tons of room once you pull the springs and shocks off.

That;s my 2 pennies.

You bring up a good point so I'll start with the drive shafts and then move to the lift and end with the brakes.

Whatever method works for you. If focusing on one project at a time, all the way through to completion, works better for you than doing several at once, then do that.

Me, I'd do the ds last. But that's just how I roll.

Brakes will take about 2 hrs

Drive shafts about 2 hrs

lift about 5-8 hours, depending on tools and experience, maybe more if your lucky.

I say do whatever you have time for.

Good luck, and nice start to the build.

I got about 90% of the lift put on yesterday it was getting late and I ran out of monster. I have about an hours worth of work just rechecking everything. Next order of business will be drive shafts then brake kit. Then I will be mounting my Nitto's onto my wheels then I should be complete enough to get the alignment done.
