Talking It's here

Well the fedex guy brought my 3" PA body lift today. Now all that is left to do is to put the durn thang on. I guess I will pretty much be on my own since I could not sucker anyone into helping me. Any last words of advice?

I don't know if I will have time this weekend or not, but defenitley will start on it monday. As for the tires and rims I already have 33x11.50 on 16x10 eagle 187's. Where did you order your lift from? I got mine from JC whittney for $168.99. Fast shipping, got here in 3 days.

That will look sweet. I would like to with the 35's but since mine is the V6 if figured I had better stay with 33's.

Wash all the mud out from under your truck and start soaking all body mounts with penetrating oil.

Also write down all of your measurements for spacing before you rip it apart,
Like the bed to cab space and front bumper
Make sure you have 2 jacks and some misc blocks for jacking it up.

What kind of penetrating oil? I was about to start putting my PA 3" lift on tomorrow also. Don't you need a second person to hold a wrench on some of the nuts underneath while you loosen them up top or something?

Like WD40 or similar.
You should not need a second person for the install.I imagine it would be helpful though!!
