Here we go!!!!

Well started the intsall tonight on the truck. Picked the lift up and planned on starting tomorrow but got the itch to start early. Got it up on jack stands front and rear and started on the drivers side. Got everything pulled out on both sides and took the sway bar off. Had to stop early to go see Casey Donahew but I am starting again tomorrow after work and will proabably work through the night. Thanks for all you guys help on answering questions. I will post pics that I took tonight when I get to the shop tomorrow. Thanks again I will keep ya updated..

Brandon

Take plenty of pics DURING the install. This could help out a lot of members. Everyone post pics of their truck after a mod, but a lot of members here do their own installations and your pics could be really helpful.

Just finished and all I can say is WOW I am super happy. Truck looks great( I think).. My hands hurt so bad I aint typin much. I will post pics in the morning when I get up. I know I proabably wont ever do this again. It was a whoopin. But who knows. I am sending Pro Comp an email on Monday to let them know how muck detail they are lacking in instructions. I feel sorry for the average joe who has no mechanical skills, trying to put this on. But pics to follow in the A.M..

Well here are some pics I spent all day going over everything and then washing/waxing her. I will have pics of the clean one in the morning. Here are the stock pics and I sold my Pro Comp M/T 33's a week before and had to put the stock tires back on. Man they are wimpy. Anyways here are the pics. Wish I would have gotten more pics of the build but doing it majority by myself it was kinda tuff. Enjoy

Question guys(for those who have this setup). I noticed today that my rear drive shaft where it goes into the tranny has moved a little(as ususal with a lift. It is leaking oil. Not alot but enough to drip down the tranny. Is this normal from it just sliding out a little or is something else up. That is the only thing I can find that is making me kinda worry. I didnt have time to clean it off and drive it around tonight but I will tomorrow. Any ideas?? On a side note its clean now. Here are some cleaned up pics
