Default 6" fabtech plus 3" leveling kit=9" lift with 37"s

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here it is, finally got everything on, installed, and test drive!!!
I have a fabtech 6" Lift kit, homemade 2.5/3" leveling kit ( somewhere in there), right now on 325/65r18, 37/13.50r18 going on tomorrow along with the alignment!!!! Between the top of the wheel and the bottom of the fener it varies between 11 3/4" and 12 1/2" from all 4 wheels, the rear has 3" add a leaf!
It was the biggest pain in the ***** I have ever done other than getting married and divorced lol!

But words of wisdom to the next guy/women that is going to try this!
1. leave the nuts for the lower and control arm on, I just loosened the upper conrtol arm pivot mount!
2. take your time, and have lots of extensions, pry bars, bfh (big f-ing hammer, a buddy or two!
3. air tools arent a must but def make everything alot easier!!!

finally new pics!
before! with only the 6" fabtech lift with worn out 325/65r18



with the 6" fabtech lift, 3" leveling kit/ 3" add-a-leaf and worn out 325/65r18

with the 6" fabtech lift, 3" leveling kit/ 3" add-a-leaf and the new super swamper m16's 37x13.50r18!!, i love them! they werent on the truck for 6 hours before they had a little mud on them!!

lol didnt remove them! lets say they kinda fell out? lol, no this past month or so when it would snow i was the one that goes behind the plow trucks in the parking lots and runs over thier nice piled up snow, well one was more packed than the rest and it took out one fog light, found the light and put it in my back seat a few days later, well like a week later the other side was dangling when i cam e out from work so i left it out.

i plan on making a front bumper/winch mount in the next few months anyways, so i am going to use my fog light switch/wires as the off road light switch. also, with the lift and everything the fog lights dont do much with the fog, in my opinion
