How in the World, am I just now finding this thread?

I would need Steps, to get onto your steps.

Jeesh that thing is going to be high.

Looks good though .

Haha! Yea, she's going to be high. But I didn't want to go with just a " lift... I wanted to be different and add just a bit more. Plus, it was hard to pass up the 1.5 for just an extra $149. So, I got the body lift from Zone as well.

Heading in the shop this morning to get her all wrapped up and then going to get my alignment done. After that, as long as everything goes well this morning, I'll be putting on my Westin bull bar this afternoon. Going to be an exciting day!

I like it, actually I am looking for that 1st but too pricey, wife gonna kill me. :shooter:

Yea, she's a little on the expensive side but thank goodness for tax return season. Lol! I can tell you that the instructions on this thing SUCK!! I literally had to assemble it off the truck before actually putting it on the truck so I would know where everything goes. Plus, when you do a body lift, you need to get a few extra bolts for it to mount. Going to get those today after I get the alignment done here in a 1/2 hour.

Truck came out looking sweet. The only regret I have on my truck was putting 2500 flares on and not pocket flares. I probably will change them out some day. Do your's have hardware in the pockets? It's hard to tell from these pics.

I have been debating on adding cab lights. They look good on yours.

Can't wait to see the bull bar on!

Honestly, the suspension kit was a breeze compared to the body lift. It was a PITA! But the instructions were reliable and up to date, yes. Install difficulty I would rate from. 1-10... 5 or 6.

Thanks Cruizer! Yea I've got the hardware in the pockets. Clearance lights were a rough install but I'm glad I did them.
