Body Lift is on!!!

I got the Body Lift on and finally got the gap guards on.I won't get my tires for 2 more weeks but here are a couple pics of before and after with factory size tires.Not that good of pics cause they were taken on phone.Changed my mind on tires and gonna go with the 315/70/17 KO's instead of the 35" KM2's.Disregard the Magnets lol its football season lol.


Before


After

Looks good. Are you keeping your stock wheels and running the 315's on them?

I've been thinking of doing the same thing to my 03. How hard was it to do by yourself? Did you need any SPECIAL tools? (besides beer)

Looks good! I like those stock wheels, I'd put 285 BFGs with white writing on them and turn the t bars down a little to give it a little rake, or add springs to the rear and go with 35s like you are, just might be a little much tire for the rim, looks wise.

Its not hard to do. you and a few friends can do it in a weekend with shop tools.

you need some torx bits, a sawzall, or cut off wheel and a drill. Other than that everything else is pretty standard. jacks, wrenches, pb blaster a torch can also come in handy.
