Talking Finally got my lift!

Howdy everyone!
After three long years of having my truck (two of those running a leveling kit and wearing out my front end) I got my 6" Pro Comp Stage 1 installed a couple of days ago. Enjoy!


After getting it back I installed 2" adapters:

How did the leveling kit wear out your front end?

FStorm150 - The 3" level that I had seriously stretched the front end (I only had 1.5" of travel) which stressed the joints. So that plus the wheeling I do was too much on it after two years. I had to replace the lower ball joints and the driverside swaybar link.

jfizzle02 - yep, its 2wd

Lol, thanks guys. My wheels are only off set -12, but the adapters push them out an extra 2", so its almost like having wheels with like a -60 off set.

Man, IMO it would look a lot better without the 2" wheel spacers, not to mention they put a lot more stress on your axles (especially with heavy tires). Also, I'm from the same area as you and cops are gonna rape you with them sticking out like that without fender flares.
