Shiza! looks real nice! Have any type of traction aid in the rear?
 






Not yet, I am going with a different gear/locker combo later. But so far it will still bark the rear tires when needed, I tried it already. It still shifts fine and gets up and goes just like stock form. But I have noticed my fuel mileage has gone down about 50 on the tank full.
 






The Incredible,....Hunking.....Green truck.......I like the look.
 






you should call it THE HULK
 






That is the nickname by chance. I came up with it last week when I finished it and my wife laughed and went out to toy r us and bought me a small figure of the Hulk and now it is on my dash top. I am going to get the winshield banner made up next week and install it. I think it is appropriate.
 






:D I was hinting at The Hulk.
 






Garth no message came out.
 






Now remove pinstripe like I did this past weekend. It will give the truck more body.
 






Yeah that is one of my future plans. How did you get it off, and did it leave a shadow print from being on there for so long. Did you use any solvents or just peel off.
 






I have a feeling he is going to say hairdryer and fingernails ;)
 






yeah I got the same feeling.
 






What

What is this 3" Pro Comp Spindle lift? Please excuse my ignorance. I would like to lift mine up a few inches off the ground without spending $2,000.00 on a 4" suspention lift and new front drive shaft to acompany it. I would also like bigger tires but I figure, why just body lift to clear the tires when a suspention lift gives more actual ground clearance to go withe the GC gains of the bigger tires. ¿You aren't talking about a Torsion Twist when you say 3" Pro Comp Spindle lift? By the way looks very nice. I wish I had something besides all stock, out of alignment, bald tires, just PFC brakes. HA nothing to help it go faster but buddy it sure can stop. HA
 






Sorry guys but it was a fingernail and fingers only. It all came off in less than 15 minutes. You'll need to buff it a little after you give it a wash.
 






The spindle lift is for the 2wd drive version such as mine, your bio says you are a 4wd version. There are plenty of lifts out there for you to buy for around 1000.00, but if money is a factor than you should go for the BL, and you can get that for around 120 dollar investment. Also the torsion twist is for 2wd version too. And no I did not do a TT on mine. With my 3' lift which was on the dot with 3" front and rear, and the tires, I achieved 5.25" of total lift.
 






With them tires

With them tires you could probably go further in the mud than my 4wd on bald stock 29x10.5 "All terrains" That means you are lucky if they don't spin on just grass. I really need some new ones. I have found some lifts for $1,500 The problem is the expense doesn't stop there you have to find a new front drive shaft for another $500 or so. But, if you know where I can get a 4" suspention lift for about $1,000 that would be great. If it includes the drive shaft EVEN BETTER! CLUE ME IN!!!:eek: :eek:
