Thank you, and good luck with yours. I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. Are you doing it yourself? And what wheel/tire combo - if any - are you going with? And, are you also replacing the UCAs? Adding coil-overs?

Gonna do the Fox coil overs in front and Fox shocks with 3" springs in the rear. Doing UCA's. Haven't put a ton of thought into the tires, wheels. Have brand new, stock size Duratracs that I put on right after I bought this truck. The stock tires were bald. We'll see what happens with tires. Truth be told I like the stock 20" chrome rims, gonna keep them. Adding some fender flares and a grill guard before the lift. Just had some cab lights installed.
I liked my stock wheels as well and also had maybe 9 months on my new Pirelli Scorpion tires. But, I wanted the 37x12.50s to start with and can't use the stock wheels or they'll rub the knuckle. And, didn't want to use a spacer on the wheels with that size tire (just my choice) so went with aftermarket wheels. I still threaten to put the stock ones back on just to see how they look and you never know - I may decide some time later to swap them over just for a change. I toned down the size to 35's though after checking clearance and will likley swap the bumper out at some point and maybe opt for the 37's when these wear out. I'll also be adding color-matched fender flares to mine shortly. When you go to remove the top rear shock bolts - you'll need a short wrench or in my case I used one of those "S" looking wrenches (closed on both ends) and had no issues at all. The lift should come with the new angled adapters for reinstallation. Good luck and post 'em here when complete.

Just solidifying my desire for a 2500/3500. How’s it ride with the lift and tires?
Bonus point for the flight murse username. Just boarded a flight to go home for the holiday from my current assignment.
Daggum that’s a gorgeous girl! Long bed?
Thank you, but no it's only a 6'4" bed, but I've often commented that it does look long!

This is my first 3/4 ton with a big lift. It rides as I expected, rough as sh*t and loves the fuel. But I didn’t buy it for a smooth ride and gas mileage. I have only had it two weeks, but I would make the same purchase again.
Nice! Safe travels and enjoy the holidays. I start a 6 night stretch on the 25th.

Sweet! I’m torn. My 1500 is one heck of a truck, but to buy a camper like I’m considering, a 2500 (actually would rather have a 3500 SRW)would be a wise purchase.
I fly back to VA for 8 days on Christmas Day myself!

Actually, for a half ton with the crew cab that is considered a long bed. The 5’7” bed is the regular/short bed, and is the norm. You have a fairly rare one there!

Yes, they are the 2.5's. And thank you for the compliment. I will be out there today and tomorrow cleaning up that red dirt for a more respectable presentation. I didn't realize how dirty that looked until I posted the photos. It's kind of embarassing actually. But, I'll clean 'em up real good...
Well, I'll have to say thank you for the education then as I wasn't aware of that. But, it is indeed long and I haven't seen another one that looks like mine over here. I have seen a LOT of CCs with the 5'7" bed though, but I like the length of mine as it accommodates my ATV where the 5'7" would have left it sitting either on the very edge of the tailgate - or perhaps not fit at all as it already sits on the tailgate of mine. For me, the 5'7" beds do look good, but is just too short for me. But, that's just my preference.

They still look great. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Unfortunately I have to wait on getting my coil-overs but I am getting my UCAs after the holidays. Shop sent them out to get powder coated red 2 days ago
Thank you. For your new UCA's; congratulations, and make sure to post pics once you get them mounted. The new ones are so much more beefy than the stock ones, but felt like I had a little play (spacing) on the rear mounts and had to tighten them to where it squeezed the bracket in a bit. I wasn't a big fan of that though.
