done...here it is..... ok i dont know how to insert attachment here....lil help please, also i have come across 1 problem...the spindle hits the tire just a ... should i grind the spindle down or spacers??? also my front tires look like a penguin walking ....i have negative toe and negative camber...so when i take it to get it alignment done i think it will take the pressure/stress of it enough so it wont scrub...because when i lift the truck of the ground it doesnt rub, the tire spins freely

I was just curious if you truck is an 4x2, i noticed you went with the 7.5" lift, i figured it is but just checking. If it is an 4x2 do you know how much higher the 4x4 sit stock? and was there any trimming needed or rubbing?

could you post more (bigger) pictures? I'm looking at eventually doing exactly what you just did to your truck, and I think it looks great

97-03 4x4's are approximately 3 inches taller than the 4x2's.

Ride height on all 97-03's is the same. THe only varible is different tire sizes on different trucks. THe 7.5 inch Fabtech lift is only for 4x2's.
