So, how hard was it? Did you need any tools like a spring compressor or anything like that?

Looks pretty good, definatly need the bigger tires though.

 

My buddy and I pulled the passenger side apart first, it took about 45 minutes to get it done. Then we moved over to the driver side and it took like 20 mins. It was really easy. No spring compressor needed, the jack is the spring compressor .

So, we disconnected sway bar on both sides and then the upper ball joint by tapping the spindle with a hammer. The jack was supporting the lower control arm. Then we disconnected the brake line brackets for more slack. Unbolted the top of the shock and simultaneously lowered the lower control arm. We rotated the spring and shock out, placed the spacer on top of the coil and reversed the process.

It looks great with the new tires. I just have to post the pics. Oh and that dent has to go too.

 

Truck is looking good! The leveling kit helped out

 

Post the pics man

 

Ok, here they are... 2 pics with new tires.

Thinking of going all black front and rear bumpers and black grille.

 

I'll put some more up when the tires are nice and shiny... had to take it out on the trail right away you know.

 

Looks pretty good. Whats the outside diameter of those tires? 31? How did it perform in the trails?

 

Oh and make sure you get a side pic level with the truck

 

31.9" OD, the truck did well for what it is. The trail was soft sand and hard packed at times. Saving some money for performance mods: intake, exhaust, tuner, throttle body spacer (maybe).

 

looks good. nice.
