I drove past the shop today a little after 5:00 PM. I was expecting it to be inside the shop, but it was actually sitting outside all done. My arms instantly when to the top of my head and I was in disbelief that this was actually my truck. I paid $250 to have the body lift installed and I didn't touch the truck during this process, pretty good price, huh?
When I went inside to pay, I was notified that I need a new core support and that they were not able to put the lift spacers in the very front of the truck until I got the new core support. So that is next on the list. Also my fan seems to be rubbing. Would it be rubbing on the bottom of the shroud? If so, how hard it is to go in and trim the shroud, and how far around from the bottom up do I need to trim? The rubbing doesn't sound too bad until I corner and the body leans and then it sounds pretty severe.
Don't worry, I'll be sure to post pictures tomorrow when its daylight.

As promised, here she is. Lift and tires all done. After tires and all, it lifted it about 9.5 inches. I was skeptical whether or not to go with 37's or 35's due to the regear. So far so good. Being a manual 5 speed, I don't think regearing will come anytime soon if ever, I don't notice much of a difference. I had to trim about two inches off of the front bumper at the very bottom corner and no now rubbing.

IKR? I think if I end up deciding to keep my truck next year I'll grab a 3" body lift and a set of 37's lol.
