Well, I loved everything until I saw the charger...

You know i'm kidding haha. Someday when I get to do mine, I'm going the positive displacment route...better torque from the get go with still alot of power gain. Should still be a nice set up though bud! Can't wait to see everything!

Haha, don't feel too bad. I left the rear blocks at my house when I delivered Jake's lift kit to him...and my house is about 4 hours away from CS lol.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I cant wait to get the procharger on. I hope that it keeps me happy for a little while. It would be nice to save some money every once and awhile

I have been forgetting his LEDs though. This makes the second time I have forgotten if not third . I am going to send him the whole dang pack of them. I am sure Jake can find a use for 100 pre wired LEDs

This first one is kinda to be used as a reference 9" of lift in the front.

These are the long travel so I would guess its sitting at right about 11-12" of lift or so here.

This one is at the alignment shop Obviously needed.. look at the driver side tire



I have the 7.5 Fab tech lift on my 03 now but I need more wheel travel for the California xesert. Where did you find the long travel kit for your truck? I also see that you have/had the 7.5 kit. Did you get to keep the tall spindles or.did.you have to buy new ones to make it work. How is the ride quality on and off road? Thank you so much for your time
Ryan

Common forum etiquette. You may find it more helpful to start your own thread.

If you want more suspension travel for wheeling in the desert, you'll most likely have to start with a Dixon Bros kit.
