Idk, if you knew me, and her for that matter, maturity came young. For example i worked 12hr's today. I have a decent bit of debt to pay off before i can start saving. i should work somewhere around 80hr's this week. I know im tired of living on Ramon Noodles. I am not saying im going to marry the girl tomorrow, im saying i am going to marry this girl. I have heard it/seen it a million times. I know im young, i have had girls come and go. Its just one of those things. If the lift is around in a year or so, who knows, i may lift it. I think a duramax will come before that day though lol.

The best place for rear blocks and ubolts is AutoSpring...the same guys that make the front spacer. Be sure the new blocks have the double-pin design, rather than the single pin you'll find on most every other truck.

Go to ebay and do an advanced search for the seller "sprngbender".
If you cant find what you want, contact them directly:

or

Its a cst lift. And im not gonna rush into this.

Im spending:
1200 on tires
400 for front lift and long travel rear shocks
100 or so for rear lift components
150 for mount and balance/alignment.

He said it was my last chance to do it before he sold it, i was listening to "we rode in trucks" and speeding, it just dawned on me. Who needs mpg? I decided the price was right.

Look on the bright side, at least you don't need new wheels.You already have some b/a wheels.
