Right on man! Amazing the difference it makes in the stance of your truck eh? Still on my top 3 list of my favorite mods is doing my coils and the bils. Cept now I need to figure out how to get 33's on there without removing any of that stuff since it's all pretty much new. Thinking 2in Body Lift.. going to need that for my swap anyways

Using that lift was awesome. orangeman_85, That's not my garage it's my girlfriend's father's shop. (yeah, he's got his own personal shop at his house, way cool). Yeah the pickup is a '56 Ford, It's BAD, he has it all tricked out, it's his show truck. So far I love the Downeys I'm still runnin stock shocks for now, I'm going to upgrade to some Bils soon.

Uh, but you still had to jack the frame off the axle, so how did that make it a breeze? looks great dude, welcome to the hard azz club. oh yea, I like them sliders, wish I had a set!

Simple. there is a frame lift that slides between the platform pieces. (shown with white arrows) it has little "arms" that you put on it and it has air bags in it to raise/lower it. It's a preaty cool deal.
