Well, it took over 6 months of trying to find people, parts, tools, and info to install my 2" lift kit. Today, I finally was able to get together with a friend of mine who has access to the college shop with a lift and impact wrench... Here are some after pics, and a couple before pics too... It's really nice. I'm not sure it's exactly 2 inches, but it's definately bigger.... Now I just need to get an alignment done.

If pics don't work follow this link: http://ftw.truckmoxie.com/mygallery.ten-id-9089-album-30074 the after pics are the first four.

In the 2nd picture down, that color looks SWEET !!! Looks good.
 






Looks great. Need some new/better looking tires though. ;)
 






Yeah, looks great but you do need better looking/more aggressive tires.
 






I tried getting tires, but no one will finance me for some reason... I have credit and all that... I just don't have $600 or more sitting around unused, and by the time I could save that much I'll be away with the Air Force, not using my truck for 4 months... I'm thinking I might go to the credit union my truck is financed through and see about getting a small amount tacked on to my bill or something like that, I really need some tires...

I bought those 31's when I had my 91 Explorer... They were the cheapest ones within 50 miles, and the tires I had were bald and one kept running out of air. So I blew a whole paycheck on these tires... Now, only 15 months later, they're garbage... They still have a LOT of tread, but they're unbalancable because they're not round for whatever reason, and they don't exactly get good traction in anything but dry pavement... AND on top of all that, they're barely 30" which is worse than not being 31"...
 






I like the way it looks in the third pic with the white out on the tire. You should try it with the white out on black rims.
 






Yeah, whenever you do get new tires, I think it would look better with the white letters facing outward.
