Thanks, man! You could have one like it

I really do love it though. It's pretty much my "dream truck" now. It's on its way to being exactly what I want and now I don't have to think "I need a lift" every single time I see it

I honestly can't really believe that I put a lift on it. Maybe it's that my mom is going to choke me all the way from Indiana, 1,000 miles away, when she finds out, but I feel like I'm somehow "not supposed to have" a truck that a love this much set up and lifted how I want. I always thought others that say this were over dramatic, but it does feel somewhat surreal for me.

I'm super happy with how it came out. 8" up front with 5" blocks and the rear is still 2.5" lower somehow, but other than that I freakin love it! The tires still out exactly as much as I wanted them, it's taller than I was expecting, it drives great, tracks straight, UCA angles are fine, LOVE it.
Damn son!! That things bad as hell. Congrats brother

sorry I didn't reply yesterday, was busy snorkeling my 4 wheeler. Looks bad *** man! I know you're happy with it. Really like the wheels too. Perfect combo. With the tiers out of the bed, how much lean does it have? I personally like a little lean. Mines at 1.5". Looking good man!!

Every time I take a look at this thread, I keep questioning why I havent lifted mine. Now that Kmac has his done I find myself pricing out lifts for real and I'm probably getting myself way too excited for something I cant get yet.

It's good to dream man. Make a list of all the things you want to do and price them out, the best places to get them. That's what I've done with the mods I want to do with my truck.

Well if you get moved back down south you need to do get a celebratory lift kit. Seems like it'd be the perfect way to celebrate if you ask me

I dont think you could be more right. Im getting headers before I do the lift though.
