is your truck 4x4?

the 97-03 trucks are EASY to do just take some time.

Id definitely start with that and 35" tires. Then see if you want to go any higher.

Me and Minimonster17 did mine in a weekend and took alot of breaks and part runs.

the instructions are great the pictures arent soo good but bearable.

 

yup its a 4x4...i will never buy a 2wd truck

will i have to crank the tbars to fit 35's? i'll pry crank them anywayz so the truck levels out but am worried about parts failing

and PA is the best body lift to get right??

 

As it looked from mid 98' on.....


As the engine bays has looked since mid 05'.

 

The PA kit is the only kit i even recognize for body lifts. Nothing else comes close

you wouldnt have to crank your t-bars but i would suggest it so you get a level stance.

 

ONELOWF i love your truck

its got the 4.6 right?
also what kind of suspension are you running

 

Heres my truck almost stock a few months after I got it. All I added was a headache rack and toolbox


Heres after adding the 3 inch BL the **** cepek rims and 35s Mud Grapplers.

Then my truck when I added my 6 inch Fabtech



Now with the same suspension setup but new Cooper discover stt mts
plus new true duals exhaust HIDs and black L style headlights

 

hey red why didnt you go to 38's? i think it would look better... or atleast a wider 35?

 

Oh trust me I really wanted to! And I will soon but these were all I could afford at the time. I got them for 1600 installed but I couldnt find any wide normal mud terrain that was good on the road for a 16 inch rim in a 35!

plus I couldnt afford to pay for a transmission bill if i was to drive around on 38s until I got enough money to regear!

Heck if I keep my truck long enough I might just do what you plan on doing! SAS allll thee wayyyy!

 

well thats a good idea.. id take a look at Pitbull tires, Ground Hawgs, Mickey Thompson MTZ's, and a few others.

im doing the SAS because the IFS broke and i didnt want it anyway. you get more gear choices. and more wheel choices as well.

just keep an eye on my build. my kit will be bolt on so if i ever get tired of it and want to do something different ill unbolt it and sell it.

 

everytime I see that truck it makes me want a regular cab short bed stepside, just to keep camaro's in check

 

The day I got her from a friend of mine

After getting it painted. I have since added a diamond edge box on the back and removed the white pinstripes

 

Thanks. Yes, 4.6 with heads and cams, etc.
The lowering stuff is Belltech, 3" short coils and shocks in front, and 4" lowering hangers and shorter shocks in the rear with no C notch.
If the dropped spindles had been available when I lowered, I would have done 2" spindles and 1" springs and shocks for a better ride.

 

I know, that truck has a killer look to it. There's a company that makes a hood that would look bad a$$ on that truck. I can't find it now dangit!

BTW- Thanks for the intake ONELOWF - Works Great!

 

Did you notice I still have the Volant sticker on the radiator cowl? lol Too lazy to take it off.

 

nice
wish i had a v8 :o lol

you have any trouble getting an alignment with those springs?
