6" Finally Done!

:D It has only taken me a week but it is finally done!!! (I won't count the two years of planning) I guess this is where it starts. Soon I can start the real modding. This is 6" Skyjacker lift with 33" Thornbirds on 15x10, 35" ProComps are in the garage waiting.......for fender trimming! :hammer: Also my wife's first expression of the truck. If she only knew I posted this. Boy would she be pissed.

the truck is amazing...the girl is even better. don't be offended, it's just a compliment to her. ;)
 






i just saw that it's your wife....you are one lucky dude. :D
 






nice looking truck. you have one more inch than me and it looks as if you clear the rear of the fender alot more than i do.. did you have to trim at all?
 






Nice wife,... I mean truck. :D
 






:D Just a reminder the post is for the truck. ;)

No I have not trimmed any yet, as no trimming was needed with the 33's. It looks like I won't need to in the rear for street use with the 35's offroad whole nother story. I am going to take about 2-3 inches off the rear of the front fender and reweld the seem. So that I can turn the 35's.
 






nice girl.









and truck
 






Did you install the radius arms as well?

Oh and my compliments to you! Looks great!!
 






no radius arms just drop brkts. should have time to trim to fit the 35's this weekend and get some better pics.
 






Looks great man! Good job! Your wife looks a little disappointed, yet happy about the lift ;)

It's one of those, "I knew you would do it even if I said NO" kind of looks!

LOL. I get those once in a while. :D
 






I think I know that look. It could be "Aww, honey. Look at your new toy." Or more likely it was "Honey, you do realize we have to drive that to church. How the #&%% am I going to get in it with a dress on?!" (The second one is more likely.)
 






Thats a sweet lookin X. Is it me or does it sit a lil higher in the rear?
 






yeah it does sit a little higher in the rear but I am waiting to see what happens once I get a spare back there and my hitch and extra junk back in.
 






Glad to see ya got it on, looks great!!
 






When are you going to put up more pictures of your baby???

--that being the truck of course!!
 


















Well lets start with an update, I haven't put the 35's on yet. been busy with work and other things. Also thinking of getting different rims. But did get brush gaurds and tail gaurds on, thanks looneytunes. Also thinking of SAS.
But here are some new pics just a few I took quick----->new pics
