Well, I got the 2.5 James Duff suspension lift on and it looks GREAT!!! This was a full weeks worth of work:P
I am still running 31x10.50R15 ProComp Mud Terrains but I took off the Rancho RS5000 shocks and put on The James Duff shocks. They were a lot bigger then the Rancho's. As for now I will keep the Rancho Steering Stabilizer since I have been happy with it.
As for performance I still have the KKM TRUE-REV SPORT INDUCTION, KKM Superchip and Bosch Platinum +4 Spark Plugs. I did add wind deflectors on the windows.

Well, here they are!! My Before and after the lift pics:)
The first is before and the ones to fallow are after. The lift in all took about 7 days counting the time I spent rewriting the instructions:P Let me tell you, if you go by the instructions you will never get anywhere. I will be setting up a web page on how I went about it. I will also have Good pics of all the new parts and how they are to look when done.
Anyway, let me know what you think:)

The Duff Lift

Hi jimabena74

I did it myself with the help of a friend. It took us about 5 days of really hard work and two days to realize the instructions made no since. We kinda changed things around a bit. If you are wanting to go with this lift I will write you the instructions I used. Trust me it will save you about two days or more of work. I wished I new all I know now from the start:P
As for price, it wasn't that much and it came with the shocks. It was close to $500 with shipping. It's a really killer lift and didn't hurt my ride at all. I think it rides even better now.
 






Sweet!

Wow! It's finally on there! On your original post I was looking forward to finding out how things went with the Duff lift...it looks awesome! I'd like to hopefully have the same thing in the future, so I'm glad to hear that things went pretty well with it. Good luck with your future mods! Keep putting up pictures as you add more.
 






Exhaust

I can give you the name of an exhaust shop here in fort collins where i got mine done if you're interested.
