X2 - The kit should have came with them so try to find them. I'm almost positive I have at least a spare set of rear brackets, not sure about the fronts. If you can't find them, I can send you what I got.

I've installed 2 PA BL lifts with buddies on a 00 and a 03. Depending on how clean you want it to look, I remounted my trailer light assembly on top of the tow package. I learned that from Wandell

Got pics of the install process in my gallery if you want to see what it looks like.

Post some pics of yours when it's done.

JK007-

By chance I looked at your gallery and your first truck is identical to mine (except I'm F-250 with 7lug rims). That is exactly the look I'm going for! May I ask a few ?s... (sorry to hiijack this gspoff12, but I'm excited and don't wanna start a new thread if not necessary!)

Where did you purchase your kit? Cost?

What shocks did you go with? Cost? Happy with them?

Labor time?

Any other costs/concers (i.e. torsion bar keys?)

Thanks for any help!

No rush - whenever you can I appreciate any help. I really love your setup (your new one as well ) so by all means take your time and reply when you can.

feel free to e-mail as I don't see a pm (lower post count maybe?)

thanks again!

It took me an entire weekend to install mine, basically working by myself.
