Well I bought a new pickup last night and I have some big plans for this truck. Sunday I should be putting a downey 4 inch lift in that I'm hoping i can fit 35's but will probably have to do a small body lift to accomadate for them. well thats enough typing for now.


Alrighty so the SAS is Beginning Today I got all the front end pulled out and the axle ready to paint all I need to do to the front now is cut the ifs brackets which I decided I'm going to use a die grinder instead of a torch I think it will make alot cleaner cut and make less work for me. so heres some pictures

How she looks now:

what do you mean by specs? and i dont think it will be rubbing on the fenders but the inner firewall by the cab which I think I can fix with wheel spacers any input on this would be great.

Mr.Chumchal

specs = motor type, mileage, the whole 9 yards c'mon man

Well I put the lift in yesterday I'm not that happy with it doesnt look like I gained much clearance so I should be ordering a body lift this week and ill have pictures up tonight.

It was a used kit but in really good shape and i believe its a rancho/downey kit at least thats what ive been told

pics w/ lift?

yea dude, post up pics..

i was under the impression that the rancho 3" lift just gave more travel, not lift...or slightly any lift.

the lift didn't "lift" your truck? what did it do then? get some pictures so we can all see... befores and afters would be great

The truck looks good man but i think you got the rancho 3" lift man but you would think it would lift it more. but anyway throw some ball joint spacers and body lift and you should fit 35's no problem.

they say you cant add bj spacers with this kit because it will add too much angle to the cvs
