Love the lift. Can't wait to lift mine. Waiting until I need new tires, though. Hope to see more pictures soon.



I also wanted to comment on your underwear picture: Makes sense, that's where North America's balls are.
 
I want to do the body lift also but I dont have the cash for new tires and Im afraid it wont look right with 32s like I have as I already have TT and shackles.
 
Hey hugh, you guys can have the balls, we got the brains!!!



Im just kidding guys.....(mostly because im a lil bit out numbered)
 
Well great job on the lift, I want to do mine but I don't think I'd be able to do it without messing something up. I like the look with the steps as well.
 
Ha, knew that was coming. Good one. No problems here with our northern neighbors. It's the anus below us who's explosive diarrhea is making a mess of our underpants.
 
Clusterpup, you can do the body lift and run the 32's, actually it'd be better becauase then there's no chance of rubbing like with my 285/75/16's (33's). Cottonwood, I was the same way about doing the body lift on mine. I'm really nervous about working on newer vehicles because I'm not used to them but if you follow the instruction booklet step by step and check off what you done as you go it's not that hard. If I had "any" members around me I'd be more then happy to get together and help them whenever but the closest member is over in Greensburg, Pa.. So I help members thru here, canadiantrucker just did his and we emailed back and forth step by step whenever he needed help. I check my email alot and my iPhone alerts me when I get them so I respond pretty quickly. :banana::haveabeer:
 
Jerry, my issue is that I have a TT and shackle lift already and that combined with a body lift may make the 32s look too small. Where do your tires rub BTW?
 
They rub on the back of the front fenders, cladding and I think it's also rubbing because I have 1.5" spacers on the front making the tire too wide for turning. I have to install the longer torsion bolts I got from Zabteck and raise the front back up because it's sagged back almost to no TT lift up front. So those are my two reason to stick with 32's. If you do alot of offroading like me then 32's would work out better beacause you get more room for articulation of the suspension without rubbing/ bottoming out the tires.
