Lift kit update

Well guys i was wrong, the body lift is gonna take alot more time than expected,tomorow it is now supposed t be finished, left to do : relocate gas tank, line cab with bed, relocate rear bumper, fabricate new brackets for brush guard, and just go over the lift kit and tighten everything down, also the rear seat needsa to be installed. The lift is coming on nicely but like i said there is alot of work needed in installing these body lifts, but the truck looks great [right now in pieces], it is really high and aggresive, from the ground to the top of the cab it is 90 inches and it still can fit in my garage wchich is good. Hopefully by lunch time tomorow it will be finished and i can start taking pics of the final product, so just bare with me guys, i'm trying m best to get it finished as i caan't wait to drive it so just one more day [hopefully].

Not to be mean or anything, but I call BS on the whole thing.

I'm jealous. What tire/wheel combo are you getting (this is going to tell how jealous I really am). I can't stand AT's for one, and two I hate light duty MT's (no offense to anyone). I can't believe you have yellow neon lights, get a pic of those turned on and where you mounted them. I think they'd burn out mudding or bust, I want some lights like that but only so I have light under my truck while digging my **** out of a stuck (rock lights)

Haha, yeah. His next post is going to be something like... "Guys, there was a problem with the lift so they took it all off and now I'm selling my truck again."

The 6 inch suspension is all done just waiting on the body lift, today they are gonna finish the relocation of the rear bumper, relocate the gas hose and tighten all the blots up. At least then i can drive it on the weekend then this monday they are gonna put the rear seat back in, relocate my brush guard and install that and fully align it. The wheels and tires are 20x10 moto metal 951 in black and 38x15.50x20 mickey thompson baja claw radials. The wheel and tire combo look amazing against the yellow and i love them. Pictures should be tonight, i'm going down to the shop in about 3 hrs and hopefully it will be done, if not i'll take my camera and take pics of it as it is, the lift is 90% done just needs the very last 10% to make it work, just bare with me guys pictures will be on tonight.
