Please let me see those pics. I am still debating whether or not to go with the 2" lift with 305/70's, the 3" lift with 305/70's or the 3" lift with 315/70's. Would like to see your truck before I write the check

3.55 Gears
K&N Filter, Superchip
Flowmaster Dual exhaust

Go 3". Reason being is that otherwise you will not get the rear bumper brackets and it will hang down. I just did CJs 3" body lift this weekend on his 97 4x4 supercab and it looks awesome! Very easy to install if you soak all the bolts the night before with something. Do expect to get the Lift lips when you are done and Nerf bars will totally hide the frame after the install. The truck will look totally stock after a 3" lift with those 2 extras.

lightningcrashZ~

You are in Oregon? What kind of plans you got this weekend. Myself and some other guys from the other site are going to be at browns camp from fri-sun. You should tell your buddy with the new lift and tires and you all should come out. Oh yeah, It must be the season, I did my PA 3'' body lift on saturday also. tires will be later. what do you think about this weekend?
