Default Lift is in!!

so FINALLY after i dropped off my truck at my local offroad shop on monday I got my truck back at 10 PM last night!

origanally i was told it was suppose to be done on tuesday but then my left side ball joints were shot so they had to replace those but i got a huge price break on labor considering they already had the whole front end tooken apart. After finding that out they say it would be done mid day yesterday (wednesday). which they were finishing wioith everything except for the alignment which they bring to a shop right down the road from the to get the alignment done.

So, they guy at the alignment shop had hella trouble with the truck that was in line before mine and that truck took all day. He wasnt even able to start working on my truck until 7:30 PM and he stayed way later then when they close just to get my truck done. So, I thank him for that. but i finally get a call at 9:30 PM saying that my truck in FINALLY finished!!!!

So i picked it up and i absolutely LOVE it! the guy at the offroad shop it was one of the better setups he has ever seen. anyway it is a 5 inch rough country lift with 35" procomp extreme A/T's and 16" MB tko rims. here is one picture i took last night. I will take more when the snow lets up here in minnesota...

Let me know what you think!

$1000 for the lift but I ended up getting $100 off. And install for the lift itself was $974. So $1874 with lift and install. But it was a little more for me because I had to have my left side ball joints replaced.

Looks pretty good. I'm assuming you went with the 4" rear block? Post a pic of your angles when you get a chance if you don't mind.

You are correct. And I will get more pictures as soon as I get out to my truck today!
