Body lift installed.

[MountaineerTom]

Got her done today, with the help of some friends and my brother (Elwood, on this site.)  Still have some minor "tune up" type stuff that I want to do to get it just like I want it.  Wasn't too hard at all, except for the rear bumper which was kind of tough, but mainly just time consuming.

Lifting the passengers side.

Billy, (Elwood) , after helping lift the bed.

 

John (left), Me, and Elwood (right) getting ready to lift the drivers side of the bed.

 

Some of the 'fellas hanging out, consuming mass quantities of beer.    Everyone got a hand in at some point.    Elwood, messing with the front bumper; Jr, in the orange hat; Nick, in front of his bike; John, talking with Nick; and me, probably looking for a tool.

 

The only pic with decent lighting after the lift.  ???   I'll get some more later.

Looks good.   Just need to get some new tires on there and some rims and you will be set, but I am sure you knew that already.  Glad to hear y'all had fun installing the body lift.

Thanks.  Yeah, I wish I could get them now, but It will proabably be July before I can get them.  I think I'm going to go with AR Outlaw II's, and some 285's.

 

chevy4x4trucks did up a pic for me so I could get an idea of what the Outlaw II's would look like.  Thanks Jon.

Turned out real nice Tom, glad to see you didn't crack and call me or anything today for some last minute advice.

[akdiesel]

Turned out nice.

Did you have any clearance problems with stuff like the floor shifter or anything of that sort?

[MountaineerTom]

Thanks Jon and akdiesel.

No problems with any clearances.  I don't have a floor shifter, so that was no problem.  The brake lines were kind of hard to pop out of the little plastic clips, just because some of them were hard to get to.

[antig24]

That looks great like that

Looks nice Tom!  I'm glad everything turned out well and it was nice that you had so much free (drunk) labor!!!

[ekonk]

The truck has a great stance.  Looks good.

[Stepside Z]

Tom,

That is so sweet looking.  I wish I could have been there.

[Elwood]

Looks pretty good Tom.  ButI have to say the pics don't do it justice, it's better in person.

 

Good thing you had all the expert help.

 

akdiesal, only problem I remember us having was with the metal spacer for the bed. We had to drill out the frame a little for the bolt to fit.

 

It was alot of fun.  Thanks for having me down to help, Tom.  And Stepside wish you could've come.....Tammy's deserts were great.  

[MountaineerTom]

Thanks all.  Thanks for coming down and helping Billy, and wish you could have come down again John.

 

Here's a couple pics I took this evening when I had a little better lighting.  Still need to get some lift lips, work on the front air dam, and fabricate some new brackets for my steprails.
