Mid Perch instructions

[Mictian]

If you have access to a hobby shop; most military bases have them, I would suggest going that route. The wall mounted spring compressors gave me a bigger warm and fuzzy over the portable spring compressors most have been renting from Auto Zone.

It was a piece of cake. The only thing I did not do was the camber/caster kit and alignment, which I had ORW here off of Balboa Avenue in San Diego do for me.

Then again, if you do not have access to a hobby shop, it is just as easy to do in your drive way with the help of a friend (plenty of how to write ups) and you can do the Tim Allen grunt after you sit back and admire your work! Plus...you save between $200-300 for other mods!

How much higher does the car goes with mid perch? I am worried my car won't fit in my home and work garage after it.

i put my truck to mid perch this past weekend by my self with only hand tools and rented coil spring compressors from advance.. total cost= $0 and 3 hours of my time!!!!! had wrenches and jacks and i got 3 years of alignments from goodyear for $190 ish a few months back. i love it!!! now my chubby is 24/7

just got mine done. shop did it in under an hour so only charged me an hour shop time. amazing what a difference an extra inch and a quarter makes. but needing an extra inch and a quarter has been a problem all my life. alignment this afternoon. man, i love this truck

had the alignment checked. rt. toe was close but otherwise in spec, so they said i didnt need an alignment. is this unusual?

Can someone give me height measurements of the cab with stock wheels and tires after mid perch? I am within 1 1/2'' from my garage door which is at full retraction. I want to do this but not at the expense of leaving it outside.

i would think youd be alright. my door measures 82 inches to the frame molding, and i have 4 inches of clearance at the back of the cab. plus the front of the cab still sits a little lower on mid-perch.

I attempted the mid perch. Is there any chance I can get the PowerPoint you made? It's greatly appreciated. Thanks
