Yeah, I really want to install it myself, but mine is also a DD. I'm planning on getting either AAL or some lift shackles to raise the rear up more. I installed the lowering kit on my old '02 F150 when I was 17, so I would think I could do this now - although the only change to the front suspension was shorter springs. It could possibly be a little while before I install it because I need bigger tires to make it look right, so I'll have to be saving up for that.

Cool man! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Mine came with 4" blocks, but I didn't want the Cali\bulldog look so I got some 6" blocks installed and that leveled it right up. I would look into either a taller block or a AAL if you want to level yours as well. I didn't install my lift, but I wish I had sometimes just for the experience. My truck was my DD at the time so I didn't trust myself to do it right and I needed it done fast. The installer (buddy of mine) told me the worst part was he had to grind some of the stock cross member to get the old stuff out and the new components in. You thinking of installing yours yourself?

Hey man, just went and picked up my RCD lift! Was wondering though, did yours come with just 2" rear blocks? Seems like that would leave the front a couple inches higher than the rear? Also, did you install it yourself? If so, was it very difficult?

how is your gas mileage after the lift and gears?

Thanks for the compliments. I think you will like having a lifted truck if you decide to go that route. Even though it's not a 4x4, it has really helped me with having the extra clearance when off roading. I don't do anything major, but I do camp often and where I go it's fairly rough terrain. Over all I just like how much better it looks. This old truck still gets quite a bit of compliments and looks when I'm out around town. I'm running LT285/70/17 BFG AT KO's (basically 33's) on my stock wheels. I actually had these tires on prior to me lifting but they were way stuffed. I did re-gear from 3.55LS to 4.56LS which made a huge difference in performance. Especially since I tow my boat in the summer. I did this in anticipation for getting 35's eventually when these 33's wear out. I like the look of my stock wheels, I just wish they were wider. I'm thinking of going with a 16x10 or 17x10 eventually to get a wider stance.

Hey, I added you as a friend so i could find pics of your truck easier...i LOVE that stance! I have an '03 4x2 and was wondering what size tires you're running with that lift? Also, did you regear to compensate for the larger tires? I'm thinking about buying that lift maybe this summer...was thinking about lowering, but want to be able to use my truck...after seeing yours, I'm definitely jealous! lol
