Wednesday or Thursday. Would have been Wednesday for sure, but some other truck got dropped off Friday. He could have done it in a day, but I told him as long as it was ready to drive by Friday, I was in no hurry. I work Mon - Thurs and drive the company car, so it would just be sitting at home.


A little off topic, what can I expect to be able to sell the stock 20's with tires (2100 miles) for? I really have no idea.

Stock 20s and tires you should be able to get about $1000 easy, maybe more like $1200 depend on your area, especially with that few of miles on them. I'd post them on your local classifieds - they'll go pretty fast.

Well, day one is in the books, and I can hardly stand it. I knew it would be a couple of days and wasn't in any hurry, but my truck is all I can think about!!! This is going to be a loooooooong few days.

Here's day two. I can remember when mine was in the shop....it was all I could think about too. Wondering what they were doing on it, if there were any complications, etc. Hang in there man! Keep us posted with updates.

One of the draw backs of a small shop, I guess. The guy doing it has one helper, but I think he does most of the work himself. When more than one job shows up in the same week, it kinda slows things down. I'm not worried, I have to work nights anyway, but I'm still anxious. He did say the wheels would take a day longer to come in than the lift and tires, so that might be the hold up. Is it Thursday yet?

As a matter of fact.........:naughty::peace:

Just got it back today. There were issues with the rear lift that took longer to get resolved and one of the center caps is missing, and should be here next week. Looks awesome, rides great (quiet!!) and I love it. Have not been this excited in a while!! Next, Im taking off the B-post vinyl.....

Just got done taking the vinyl off the b posts, too. Much better looking, as far as I'm concerned.
Does it look like it has some rake still?

Yeah I run the 6" Zone lift and it is a solid lift. I do have the rake so I ordered Bilestine adjustable shocks for the truck. It is a solid lift kit and I would recommend it. In the end it is your choice and go with what ever one you think will be best.

Can you post some pictures of the b pillar vinyl removed? I've debated and debated whether or to remove mine.

I can see a slight rake, but it's not near as bad as mine. I'm thinking yours may be off about 1.5" I'd guess. That can easily be corrected with the Bilsteins though and get you sitting level again.
