Hey guys, after doing some research and ordering, i finally recieved my HBS 3" level and my skyjacker 1.5" aal kit today! gonna do the installation first thing tomroow morning and will have pix when complete. But does anyone have any tips or suggestions while doing the install? im pretty aware of what i gotta do, but any tips to avoid little speed bumps will be great!

 

Hey guys, happy labor day!! I finally got my level and aal installed today! Only took two of us bout 6 hours. Lol. But the end result is superb! Very happy with it and now all I need is some 35" Nitto m/t's. Here is a before and after.

 

Looking good! Our trucks are very similar. Any other mods you have planned besides tires?

 

Yea! Tons! Lol. But the main thing is gonna be an edge tuner and exhaust next. Then eventually intake. Gonna get simple cosmetic things like hids, led lights, stereo. My neighbor found a place by us that will powder coat all wheels for only $240. Then in spring after tax returns, gonna get a 6" lift .

 

I'm looking at doing this to my '07 XLT sometime in the near future. How was the ride afterward? Any advice during the install?

 

The ride is a little bit more bumpy. It's just more.... Out there I would say, lol don't know how to describe it, I don't mind it, but I'm gettin a alignment next week. And for the advice... Make sure you know what to do, its not as simple as the how to's make it haha. But once you do one side the other goes 10x faster. Make sure to soak the bolts in pb blaster/ wd40 for 2 days before the install, get everything good and ready! And when I putting the front back together, use a jack to lift the a-arm back up. Much easier then pry bar. And for the aal, have some kind of zaw saw or grinder with cutting blade to split the nut on the center pin. That was the worst part. The pins would usually just spin when trying to loosen the nut. Hope that helps!
