Installed Lift

My two buddies and I started at 6PM Friday night and tore down the entire truck. We finished at 4AM saturday, hung out for a bit, got cleaned up, got breakfast and headed to meet Jermoslin in Katy at 7AM. Got back and then put on the lift. We ended up finishing the lift at 9PM Saturday night. I had a great group of guys that helped me a whole lot.

Lots of pics...

What are your front and rear fender height measurements? I'm looking at doing something similar and can't find a truck with the same height mine will be so I can see if I like it.

lol, no that roll around chair/ temporary light weight jack stand.

Realized I didn't ever reply to the thread. The ride is great with the lift. It isn't really any rougher riding.

I will be going 4.56's with a Detriot TT. Hopefully will be getting it installed the week or so.

That was a lot of work! Looks nice.

Alignment yet?

Oh yeah, definitely. I drove it around a bit to make sure everything was settled then took it in on Monday for the alignment.

Thanks to everybody for the compliments. Now I just got to make it like Foggy's truck! but I'm thinking 5.7 with a front mount :)

Is it me or is there something wrong with the right tire, driver side.

Looks awesome!
