been driving this truck for bout 2 years now and finnally on my way to lift it.

stock


stock with a lil mudd



then i went ahead and did a aal to get rid of the rear end sag. but that wasnt enough.. i finally went and got the pa 883 kit for those 3 extra inches. took longer then i expected it to but it was worth it.


my next mods i will do is the tt and shackles. then i am gonna get some us steel wheels seris 70


then i am gonna wrap them in either bfg a/t or general grabber a/t

i wanna put 33's on there. and i am not evenb gonna worry bout lifting the rear bumper up. but the front is where it needs to be now

Any problems during the body lift?

 

[Doomie17]

slight problems that turned into time consuming problems. passenger side front body mount the bolt would not thread out of the bushing so i put the nut back on and welded it to the top of the bushing and it came right off. hour worth of grinding later the spacer was on. both front and rear bumper once again passenger side broke the lil bolt holder thing so finnaly got em off and then more welding. took from tuesday night till thurs morning to install everything just cause i did it all my self. not bad for a 18 year old i guess. all in all it was easy exept for little problems.

thanks man hopefully i will be getting my wheels and tires by the end of june. so i might just get some 31's to hold me off so i can actully get traction for once

 

[Doomie17]

ended up getting 31-10.50r15 bfg all terrians. so far they work good havent really tested them out yet

nice x u got there

 

[Doomie17]

well tires work great they have pulled me through some really sticky marsh and some nice mudd. i ended up taking the exhaust off right after the cat. and im in the process of building a 2.5 inch strraight pipe from the cat to where the muffler exits stock. it sounds good nice deep rumble

 

[Doomie17]

exhaust is almost done my schedule sucks i only have like an hour a night to work on it. have maybe a foot left to weld on

and can u say 3 wheeling pass rear was over 8 inches off the ground drivers rear tire was stuffed


i also 2 wheeled it after that
