Looks Good!!!! Seems like you have larger tires in the back since the front is sagging :)

Nice looking truck, do you think a torsion twist good fix the front??

Thanks for the Complements!

Visit my thread in the Shocks, Suspensions, and lift Kits. I explained some of the problems that I had with the lift.

Right now the torsion bars are backed all the way down. As soon as I get it fixed I will get at least another inch in the front.

That looks so cool! How is it living with the lift, like, the everyday driveability in traffic, around turns, parking, visibility...

Thanks..

Looks great! The lift gives is a pretty aggressive look

Looks good!

Here is my 97 Sport before the Warrior Shackles.

Djohnson,
that is one fabulous looking truck. the tires look awesome. did u have to do alot of trimming to fit them in the wheelwells?
Rick

No, not much trimming. I spent about 10 minutes with a Dremel tool to cut off that little plastic leg on the back of the front finder wells. I also moved my front bumper out 5/8".

Nice truck! I think the Sports look awesome with a few inches of lift. Nice job!

Hey Nice truck! I've got one but its red and 2wd. About what size are your tires? I'm thinking of 33's and 7.5 in the front and 8 in the back. Are you going to do a body lift as well? If you do decide to do it, i would love to hear about it. Thanks

TURDS

Thanks,
My tires are 285 75 R16, that is equal to 32.8" in diameter. I don't plan on doing a body lift.

For the most part the truck seems the same only much cooler! This lift encorporates double rack steering. The fit of the brackets was just a little off so when driving on the interstate I have to keep steering. It might have something to do with my caster.

Cornering is OK, I just take it a little slower now. The steering wheel will return to center after turing a corner.

Parking is still no problem. No rubbing when at full turn.

I love the visibility that I have. I can now see down into explorers and other trucks!

Hope this helps.

How do rate the trailmaster SSV shocks compared to stock ones? Do you rock from side to side entering drive ways or speed bumps? Stock bounces all over!!!

I'M NO EXPERT ON SHOCKS, BUT I CAN TELL A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SSV'S AND THE OE SHOCKS.

THE RIDE IS MUCH BETTER IN MY MIND NOW THAT I HAVE THE LIFT ON. IT RIDES A LITTLE MORE LIKE A TRUCK SHOULD.

Check your caster first, not your camber.

PS/ Awesome work. The lift should really help you. Congrats!
