Done...for Now....and Still Fits In The Garage, But Not By Much...

[Taz107]

After many months, and thanks to the help found on this site, as well as from members "Matt_" and "LSU Dark Knight", my body lift and wheels are on, in addition to the other mods I did last fall listed in my sig...

 

 

Here is a before, and 3 after shots...let me know what you think...

Looks Great!

Your truck looks awesome. So that gives you a 6" lift in the back and 5" in the front, right?

[Matt_]

Looks awesome man! Seeing that makes me want a 2" leveling kit and 1" taller block for my truck... it looks so much taller!

 

 

Now go to mcmaster.com and order some weather/oil resistant rubber (36"x36") and cut out some gap guards and you're set

That looks great, Body lifts look good on these trucks.

Wheels look awsome! Nice job!

[Taz107]

Thanks for all the compliments, finally got it the way I wanted it from the start...

Open to idea's for what to do next...chrome handles maybe?

Something like that...1.75" gain in back, the 3" block replaces factory 1.25", so technically 5" in front, and 4.75" in back...so I still have a decent rake...I haul quite a bit, so didn't want the rear lower than the front, empty or loaded...

Thanks again for all your help Matt, gap guards are on the list...and yeah, why haven't you done a level and block kit yet????

Looks like a totally different truck. It definately makes Matt's look lowered.

Would you mind measuring the "actual" height and width of those tires on your truck?

 

I cant decide whether my next set is going to be the 305/55 or 275/60s... they will be the LTZs. If i get the 305/55 then i may do 1.5F/1.0R increase... but if i get the 275s then i may do 1.5R drop shackles (Practicality says to do the 275s w/shackles... but Looks says to do the 305s again)

Practicality is so overrated.

32 5/8" with 40 lbs in them....overall about 12.5" wide, on a 9" rim remember, not 8.5"...

[Matt_]

Awesome man, thanks. Looks like they're slightly shorter/thinner than my ATZ's... and hopefully a lot lighter!

 

Not going to lie...the 2nd pic down may have COMPLETELY changed the route i was headed with my truck

 

 

I was going to "tone it down" a bit when it is time for new tires... now I think im going to have to do the 1.5 RC kit and 2" block for the rear (that'll keep me about 1-1.25" of rake). I just love the way that truck looks...

[03blackz71]

Truck looks really good!!!!

 

 

Now this makes me want to swap my 1.5" BL for the 3" kit!!!! Might have to order this so I can swap it out next weekend!!!
