it is a proComp Stage II
I have also added the AAL from ProComp.
I have changed my rear shackle to add another 1 1/2 inch of lift.
I am running a 5" block in the rear
I have 36" BFG's

my truck is 11" taller than stock

I have done other things to make this combo work well for me.

My budy George made this video out of some photos and video combo.
I know he worked hard getting this stuff from who had them and then put it together.
Thanks Unleashed (George)

cutting accross the desert at night not much time. we met in Ramona Ca. around 6:00 pm I got back home in El Cajon Ca. around 2:30 am.
the drive was fun. even the 4x2 keeped up pretty good.
NExt time I will stay the night but this is a quick fun trip.

You made good time.
so next time I will bring my trailer and spend the night.
so we can do some exploring during the day.

Maybe it will be easier on George so he can rest before the drive home.

Looks fun. So I might be able to join you sooner. Found out this morning that I am not going to be deployed. Now I just have to fix this transmission instead of buying the zf 6 like I was planning. That's gonna have to wait.
