installed my $13 lift kit.... pics inside

Cockatoo · 04-19-2006, 06:02 PM

i bought the lift shackels from autozone and cranked the torsion bars up front, looks nice, im thinking about getting a add-a-leaf also for the rear so its just a touch higher than the front. and i wanna get a 3 inch body lift too.

after

tell me what ya think....

justin146 · 04-19-2006, 06:06 PM

looks good. What wheels are those?

Cockatoo · 04-19-2006, 06:24 PM

just black steelies, they got rusty so i spray painted them with some super glossy black paint.

spindlecone · 04-19-2006, 06:30 PM

it does look good. i like the ford center caps on black rims

Cockatoo · 04-19-2006, 06:49 PM

i didnt get the alignment yet, if anything it seems that my alignment is better now than it was. im not worried about the tires wearing unevenly i hate them anyway and want new ones. i will get an alignment when i get new tires.

spindlecone · 04-19-2006, 06:53 PM

Would not wait to long, your tires start to cup because the camber is off, starts to wear on other front end componatants, good luck

SkanlaxJMO · 04-19-2006, 09:49 PM

yeah get an alighment soon...but other then that it looks great.
Edit: how about some more pics?.....and did you put a cross brace on the rear shackels(a bolt)?

Gatorblazer · 04-19-2006, 09:56 PM

Pics of the shackles would be nice. Good looking truck, love the ford caps on the wheels

Cockatoo · 04-19-2006, 09:58 PM

ill get some more pics up soon. no i didnt put a center brace on the shackels, i might, but we did some serious muddin last night and al held up great, so im not worried.

I noticed when you did the shackles and TT, your chrome grill disappeared. Ha Ha ! Looks great. It is nice to no longer be stock. Now you made your X. Not just Ford.
