A buddy and I tackled the install in about 10 hours. Would have been less but one of the mounts for the drivers side rear upper control arm was a bit off so we had to do some modifications to it. Front was actually easier than the back for that reason. Had it aligned this morning, well its going back cause the wheel is at 2 o'clock going straight and they also dropped the head off and gnarled up one of my wheels pretty bad. oh well firestone has some deep pockets. So i have bils at 2.1, 1.5 zone bodylift and a 6" zone with the 5" rear option on 35s. Thought I would be done but now I have to have 37s. Wifes not going to be happy with that.

Thanks guys, Im thinking about ditching the body lift so I can get some ADD bumpers. Also alignment #2 got it wrong as well. Truck doesnt pull but the wheel is at 1100 now. I thought firestone would be a good place to get this done, but I guess I was wrong. Anyone have any suggestions?

I feel your pain on the tires. I leveled it a month after I bought the truck and put bigger tires on $1500, then 4 months later lifted it and got bigger tires another 1700.

Congrats on the lift, looks good. Can you get an alignment at a local dealer? Mine has always done a great job after leveling kits and lifts

That the Detroit or cali lean

no the front is actually an inch lower than the rear on level ground. My driveway slopes up toward the house. Heres another pic on level ground.

I actually have a buddy that works at firestone and is a master certified mechanic. But this is getting kind of awkward coming back telling him its no good. If they cant do it the third time if I can get my money back Ill take it to the dealer.
