here is a picture of it afterward... i have a 6 inch suspension kit from rough country with worn down 33s and joey has a rough country 3 inch lift with brand new 35s... i cant wait to get new tires!!

i like this comparison... this is with my truck in the driveway with literally the bed full to the top of the cover with mulch...

this was taken the day after my lift went it and it was fully alligned!

EDIT: a note to anyone installing this themselves... i replaced balljoints, bushings and tierod ends all at the same time... timewise this kit took a total of 12 hours to install with everything else being fixed as well. not to bad for a completely new suspension.

i like this setup a lot it isn't bad for the money... joey hates the three inch because his control arms practically est on the shock tower brace. and when he takes it off roading it always hits and knocks and doesn't sound great at all... im sure it it were the stock arms they would have bent already!
