I prefer the term "Piteagle" over "Beagbull" ... I like your dog.
Thank you for giving your best shot for my people. My people expect much from me so I'll be watching your build so that I can make them very happy. [Note: my people consist of 1 wife, 2 sons, 1 daughter, 3 cats and a dad bernet cat-food-eat'n-door-scrat'n possum]
Don't you hate typos. I'm the world's worst.
Hello ....
And my helper "Digsby" he's a "Beagbull" half beagle / pitbull, and one hell of a good boy.
Obviously I would love to have all of my thread goals accomplished soon, however I work 7 days a week second shift. I also have a wife, and two wonderful children who also need as much love and attention as my truck. HOWEVER! I'm gonna give my best shot here for your people. I hope you join in on the ride for my trials and tribulations. I have limited Automobile experience, only changing hub assemblies / actuators / control arms / wheels bearings etc. This will be my most in depth automotive project ever. I do have all the tools required for my projects, if not I have access to them.

Well last night I was able to install the rest of the lift blocks and modify the rear bumper, spare tire system, filler hose, parking brake and the bed crush blocks. I think it looks good, I'll get some pictures up later when my power comes back on. F$@& you Irene!

Well as explained in the last post, i was able to put a seriously long night in after work on saturday. I got home around 11:30pm, and worked straight on the truck till 7am. Now please remember Ive never done any of this and I am working by myself most of the time. If this install seems like its taking forever, its because it is, Im usually a zombie after work, only working at half of my capabilites. The directions are straight forward, but at 2-7am in the morning my brains a total turd. Here's the pictures as promised. Still no power at home, so doing my posts from work. F&*% U IRENE!
Here she is with all the 3" performance accessories blocks in place, rear bumper lifted, spare tire contraption lifted, filler hose extended, parking brake bracket added.
Sorry about the pictures quality, By 7am i was probably 15 beers deep and every picture I take looks like im using a potato for a camera.
All thats left to complete the body kit is adding the supplied brackets for the stuff under the hood, modifying the fan shroud, modifying the front bumper mounts and adding supplied brackets. Also I need to cut my manual shift lever in half and weld in the extension that was supplied with the kit. Then all thats left is the Hide a gap rubber to install. After all that is complete, i'll add the 2.5 inch leveling kit which should be cake after this pain in the *** body lift. (pain in the *** = fairly straight forward, time consuming but easy enough for the average backyard mechanic).
I also plan on making a decision on what rims and tires im going with this week and ordering them up. I plan on 20's with 35's
Thats it for now, Im going to try and take care of the rest of the Body lift tonight if my powers back on. Hard to cut things with no air compressor.
Let the mods continue.
