i did some myself. i really needed a lift to put the supension lift on so i just hired it done so it would be easier on me, but as for everything else like the body lift... (which was a pain) by the way you really need a lift for that too, and the add a leaf and spacers i did myself. but i noticed as i was installing the front spacers my lower ball joints are starting to get loose, especially my right one. so looks like i got to tear back into it before long.

I think i just creamed myself.... that is one awesome looking truck. Ive been trying to convince my wife to let me do the same to mine... but to no avail. How much did it cost you for the whole setup? When you get a lift done do you need to recalibrate your odometer or anything?

i use an edge evoloution programmer which you can program your tire size in which takes care of your speed odometer. And man i couldnt tell you the price. ive just done little by little over the years and changed things here and there. so theres no telling...

it rides actually really good. Should be better when I replace the lower ball joints and new shock/coilovers. Mpg 14 with the edge programmer surprisingly.

I would say BL. 3 inches should be plenty to get u 37s with the right offset and backspacing. And no I haven't regeared yet. I am soon. I have just the Programer right now to change shift points and tire size which helps dramatically.

Your project is making me nervous now. I am getting a 3" BL installed on my 6" lift in April. I bought all the parts and bought 38" x 13.5" Toyo's. My wheels are KMC Monster 20" x 10. Are these going to fit fine or was your problem your wheels and the wide 15.5's???

. You might be alright with the 13.50s. The main thing is you wheel offset though.
