Okay my brother and I just finished putting the 3" BL on last night (6 hours) and he has a camera so here are a few pics of the finished product, truck is dirty cause I dont have extended fenders yet, but I think it looks alright, and also I forgot to take of the intake hose to the engine and it split and i cant get a good vacuum on it anymore, do they make an aftermarket extended hose to compensate for the lift? will a OE hose work? this one lost about an inch off of one end. It seems to fit, I swapped ends and bought a new vaccum hose that comes off the plastic 90 on top and into the valve cover, and it works alright, I just need a more permanent fix. And here are the pics.

I didn't need an after-market hose on my 88 V6, 3" BL.

Rides about the same. Can kinda feel the center of gravity go up(more sway)

Oh and the hose WOULD work but I forgot to disconnect mine and it had gotten hard and broke, so its got a leak now, and idles irradically. I would rather get a new one or aftermarket with more flex in it to maneuver I may make something up.

I have a 1990 and when I mounted the dropdown brackets for the radiator, I had a hard time getting the radiator to fit in between the old bolts, and I had to bend the metal a little to make it fit. Other than that the performance accessories kit has got everything you need and very straight forward. The instruction provided are very thorough. And like anyone on here will tell you, dont forget to soak your bolts in wd 40 or something similar. It really helps, I had a few shear on me and that made the whole process longer.

Nice, i never thought the 3in lifts looked bad with the right tires and sliders. hint hint
