Teaser. about 65% done!

So here is the front end done, er, well almost done. This was nice to see, as I was somewhat worried going from the 6" BDS kit to the 8" Rize kit might not have worked, but it did. Still waiting on the King front coil overs which will be replaceing that nasty strut/extender once they are in, and need to toss in the longer brake lines. The rear is being done currently 6" Rize block, and 4" Skyjacker spring pack and should be done sometime this afternoon. Below is a crappy iphone pic sent to me by the guys doing the work



I am hoping to have some updated pics later this afternoon, but if not I will soon. The King coilovers had a 10 day build period on them and should be here early next week. Once they are on it is off to have the driveshafts put in check

thejake,
We need to just have a Texas meet somewhere.

mhockey,
LCA's on the 09+ arent aluminum so they are painted this way. Also I ordered the Kings with a longer coil to provide 1" extra lift which is what TruckToyz reccomeneded so without them being cranked I will get an extra 1" so the front should be sitting level once they are on. If not I will have 2" or so to crank and play with =) Im being told the hardest part of the install was the rack and pinion and how Rize does it. Either way 2 suspension lifts, people that know what they are doing have been hammering away for 13 hours and are nearly done. Currently they are finishing my rear end.

Iorf150,
Here are some more teasers Quality of the pics sucks I know, lighting is bad and iphones are trash!


So sexy.


Stupid clearance from tire to back fender!


Bars!


4" leaf pack, 6" blocks


The front done sitting on its own weight!

Now if only I had the damn coils and rear piggys to take photos of

Yes we do need a Texas meet. Im down to drive to Austin, Dallas, College Station or any of those places after my truck is finished. Should be about 3 weeks at the most. I will be starting mine in about a week and then just got to order the driveshaft, shocks and etc and install it.

I was expecting my install to take about 20 hrs but thats taking my time and cleaning things as i go. Also taking a lot of pictures haha.

Truck looks sexy man
