got my 6" lift on tonight

Started at 2pm and just finished at 11pm. Took longer than expected due to having to plasma cut airbag brackets and remove all the lowering components and compress the struts and fight to get them back to stock and blah, blah, blah. With a stock truck I think I could have done this lift in 5 hours vs 9 hours it took us.

I bought the lift kit used and found that 1 nut wont go on the ubolt so going to run to 4wheelparts tomorrow to see if I can get a new one, then I need to modify the ebrake hanger, torque everything, do a rough front end alignment and then bolt the wheels/tires on and head to the alignment shop.

Here is what it looked like when we started today.

Forgot to take a picture with the factory wheels and tires on but now the pic with 35's is up there. Looks to be sagging a little in the a s s end so I'll have to measure how much and do something to fix that next weekend.

Can you buy 2" lift shackles so it will sit level? I dont care to add more blocks or an AAL.
