My 3in body lift experience: PICS inside

Well, I finally got it done yesterday. It took me and a friend 18 solid hours to install. We had all sorts of setbacks and problems. Being my truck is a 99(seven years old), most of the bolts(even the ones I sprayed multiple times with PB blaster), were a bear. The bed bolts had to be drilled out, along with taking a wiz wheel to that little bracket/nut thing. My friend has a two post lift, so the lifting part was a snap. We lifted the bed and cab at the same time. After we got everything out, the new parts from the kit went in easy. We tried to not drain the radiator, but had no luck getting the fan shroud out. THe only thing I don't like about that, is the shroud doesn't match up to the radiator cover thing, but thats minor. The truck rides good and looks super. Can somebody post pics on here for me? I have tried but had no luck. Thanks for all the help prior to me installing this. BTW, my truck is a 99F150 XLT scab 2wd. Thanks again!!

upload the pictures, then click the [?] under the pictures after you load them, and copy/paste the text in there into the thread.
