Autospring and Edge Installed!!

I just got around to taking pictures and figuring out how to make a gallery and everything....I put on my AS 2.5" leveling kit on Christmas eve with no problem. Did it with a buddy of mine. It took us an hour to do one side and 20 minutes to do they other. I put some 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my stock wheels and it looks good. Its not to big but not too small. Just right in my opinion. Check my gallery out

I also sanded primed and painted my edge pod and have it mounted as well. Very easy mod and looks good. Although I can not figure out how to get the gloss shine out of it.

Looks good, I used that same color paint on mine. It doesn match perfect because of the gloss finish but it looks better than the black. Plus it was only 5 bucks,

Yup the primer was the only thing i had to pay for because a friend of mine had some paint laying around.

Leather seats are too come by this summer...as soon as i can pay off my tires. Credit can get you in trouble sometimes!

i did this mod by myself. really there is nothing to it. in fact i dont think there is room for an extra set of hands, but the encourgagement could be useful. I used the jack from the truck. a 2.5 ton bottle jack, jack stands and just standard hand tools. was able to get the entire thing done in under 2 hours.
