Very nice! Share some pics when done. I'm fairly new here and have been reading tons of pages on the leveling, lefts and tires. LOL. It seems that leveling is a fairly straightforward DIY. What about a lift? DIY as well? Minus the alignment of course. So many options I want for customization. If only I could have stopped a few trucks I've seen locally and asked about their setup.

Yes! definitely interested in seeing many before and after shots from different angles. Also, if you are installing this yourself, how about a how to write up with pictures? With any gotchas you might find? Just a thought.

 

Thanks

Lift is junk. Just mail it to me instead. Lol.

 

Post up some pics of it afterwards. I like the 4".

Yeah I will be doing the lift myself Saturday morning. I need to make sure I can do the lift in my garage and still get the truck out of the garage post lift. Go pro will be on hand and I will get is all documented!

I am going to run the ones that came from the factory. it calls for wheels bigger than 18" and 4.5 back spacing. I measured the wheels yesterday and I should be good.

In my Possession! Come on Saturday morning!

Looking forward to review of install ease and difficulty and pics. Think you'll be done in one shot?

I see the cross member needs modifying....do you need to cut any of the transfer case?

nope! just the cross member.

 

here is the instructions. I was thinking maybe just hammering in that part of the cross member, but most likely just use the cutoff wheel.
