I see some Made in the USA notations. I enjoy working in the USA and supporting our products.
Please do this project with USA products.

 

Jim, Lift looks good. The Kumho, BFG's or the goodyear tires would be good. I have ran bfg and they wear great, but they also love to hold onto rocks.....

 

I owe a HUGE amount of thanks and appreciation to Platinum Pete for yesterday. Not only did he bust his butt to help me with this project but he also gave me his front springs from his old lift.

I do have pictures of the work so far but need to find the cable for the camera so that I can up load them.

We added his 4' springs to my mini leaf pack leveling kit in order to get the 6" that I wanted in the front. All went well except for 1 broken bolt and that was a very easy fix too. The truck looks funny with the lift in the front and stock height in the rear! That will be handled soon enough though.

We even had to do a bit of Redneck Engineering to remove the bolts for the track bar. It is amazing what you can do with a jack a 2x4 and a good quality adjustable wrench!

I will be keeping the stock rims for the time being and running Cooper Discoverer 315's that I got 4 from Petes son PJ and 4 from Craigs list. I got the dually spacers from a guy on Ebay for about half of what I thought I was going to pay for them, so that is a win for sure.

I will be ordering new shocks and a drop pitman arm tomorrow, I dont know how i managed to space those out!.

Pete, Thanks a million brother I am so grateful for all of your help the parts and your company yesterday!!

 

It was my pleasure brother, nice weather, great company, great food, working on the truck, all in all an awesome day. I just wish we could have gotten more done so you would be that much closer. We'll take care of that next sat though.
