Wow, congrats on the lift. The fabtech has extruded steering knuckles with an outboard curve to compensate for the gap created by the 3/4" spacer. The rears width is not increased, just the front. Thats awesome you're having an easy installation, are you planning on going to a larger tire?

Ya installation was a snap. I don't think i'm going to go any bigger right now. Maybe when the tires wear out i'll try some 36's. But for now the 35's fit fine

Didn't know about that.

As for how long it's gonna take i don't know. Hopefully by sunday afternoon. The rear end is gonna take a little longer than normal because i have an aal to put in as well.

I just got a leveling kit. I think I better take them out before then. Hopefully I'll have the cash to put on a good lift kit.

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.

Good to know.

Now once i get some good pics who wants to make me a new sig
Truck looks badass.

BEFORE you get it all cleaned up you should get some pics in any badass terrain you have around there. There should be some around there, right? Mountains...something? Unless you dont want to actually use the truck and its new lift....just kidding. Truck looks awesome though. I had the exact same bullbar and KCs, before I went to this grille guard. Im still trying to figure out were to mount the KCs again.
