Default Daystar 1" budget boost installed!

Yesterday morning I busted out the tools and installed my birthday present... Took bout 3 1/2 hrs got a slow start trying to get it in the air even fell off the damn jack stands when I was repositioning the jacks.. Thank god the tires were still on and nothing got damaged... My truck is now almost perfectly level maybe a 1/4 low in the front haven't measure on a truly flat surface so I get different measurements any where from 1 1/2 to 2 inches of lift...
On to the pics
Before



After


And a kodiak brown color shot

It's a love hate relationship with it for me... I love it when it's clean... But living on coleche roads is always dusty shows any lil but of dust very easily. But otherwise I love it, it's just something different and kinda nice to have a color that can be called two colors... What do you mean officer my truck is brown not black so it couldn't of been me lol

Looking good! The 1" budget boost sits just about perfect in my opinion. Close to level yet still a little rake, not nose high. That color is so sweet too!!

I'm really tore between what tires but for my gas mileage sake and for the price I just can't help but want to get the bfg at ko in the 275/70/18 nice step above stock but not enough... My 08 had a 2.5 level with 275/70/18 and seemed waaaay taller then this truck ... I feel a 2.5 on this truck woulda left me way nose high but on the 08 it was a pinch nose high... Like a 1/4"... And the 275/70's seemed small but seem like they'd look a lil bigger on this truck since it doesn't seem like its ever be as high which is kind of a bummer to me

This setup looks good to me. Where did you get it, and
did it change the ride?

I got it from amazon $38 bucks shipped great kit install wasn't hard at all just male sure you cut enough off the shock studs and leave enough to reinstall with out level later if you want to... And ride is still the same
