Lifted!

Man...this is just plain awesome!

Got the lift put on and then went and had my tires mounted and they are even balanced! After doing a little dremel artwork to my valence and trimming some of the plastic fender liner in the rear, the rubbing is at a minimum. Hopefully it will be completely eliminated come this weekend when I have time to be careful and pound the crap outta the fender in the back with my sledgehammer...check out the pics, sorry for the lack of light. I'll get more up later this week when I have time and the lighting is right.

And many thanks go to those of you who have given me advice and tips on how to go about lifting the rig...namely Cebby, Waskillywabbit, BigBadBlue, Flygtenstein, AgRunner06 and most of all Roger Brown, I really appreciate the help guys and sorry for all the dumb questions I've asked and those that I have yet to ask!

Looks good.

Probably going to need more trimmage if you ditch the swaybar. Does not look like much room there.

Good luck!

Yep! That would be the one (in the tech section).

I have had mine done for a year with no sign of visible wear.

Hmm...I completely forgot about that, if I can find some spare time this weekend I may have to do that.

How long did it take you?

A couple hours, no biggee. Prep carefully, that's the key.

It's lookin' great man. Glad to see that you got it done without any problems. Now you need this, this, and this...the list just keeps growing doesn't? Too many things, too little money. That's the illness that plagues many of us here.

BTW how is the power now? I'm sure it feels almost like mine. We need an SC.

Nice Job!

How come you only went with 1"? If you would have gone with 2" you wouldn't have NO rubbing issues. There's not much difference betweent the two as far as what is required. Looks good though. I am loving having mine on 33's.

Looks Great!

I have some edge trim material I used on the cut on the bumper/valence. Makes it look finished. If you want some, I'll send you a little.

Full stuff with discos will reveal how much trimming/pounding needs to happen.

1' BL vs 2" BL? Lower center of gravity and since he has an auto, requires no mods to the shifter - also no mods to the steering shaft.
