Your truck will look sweet once its done, I am sure, and you better post some pics!! It sucks to hear about the ball joints only lasting 20,000-25,000 miles, But at least with me I won't have this truck that long, since I only put on about 5000 mile a year on this truck. And I don't plan on keeping it for more than 3-4 years, I geuss that it will be someone elses problem

Sorry i wasn't on yesterday. Busy with the lift until all hours of the night. The hardest part was those damn compression struts and the rear leafs. I couldn't take the leaf packs out of the truck without removing the gas tank. So i did the aal in the truck.

Thumper i don't off road my truck alot maybe like 1 or 2 times a year.

Difficulty from 1-10 i would say about a 8 with one person and maybe like 5 if you had 2. It was actually alot easier than i expected.

I am uploading pics right now so give me a couple mins.

Here is the pics. I know the truck is a bit dirty. I am gonna clean her up and get some good pics tommorow. But here is some for now. I don't know why the back looks lower in some pics. Must be my driveway. I couldn't imagine how low it would be without the aal. I did measure it though. It's 46" from the ground to the fender lip on the front and 48" on the back.










Now once i get some good pics who wants to make me a new sig

It actually rides better in the rear than from factory. The front is the same.

The lift didn't increase my track width at all. I actually left the half shafts on the diff when i did the lift.

Sweet! I could have sworn that an article I read on the Pro Comp lift back in 2004 said it increased the front track with a couple of inches. Maybe it was the Fabtech lift.

Maybe because 2wd? I didn't put any spacers on my half shafts so it couldn't have increased any.

I know that the fabtech kit will increase the track width 1.5" though.
