Skyjacker lift installed.

I just got around to getting some pics posted. It's a 4" lift with replacement front and rear softride springs. The install was a piece of cake. Next things on the list are a new hood and painted door handles. I found an awesome price on new replacement door handles that are smooth and ready for painting. Well time for me to head to the garage. UPS just showed up with my new tail lights.

The kit set me back $1700 and that's with shipping. What I order was replacement front and rear leaf springs, 6 Bilstein 5100 shocks and a carrier bearing shim kit. It would be cheaper if you didn't get the Bilstein's.

Gage,
The wheels are 18 x 9.5 Eagle Alloy 114's and the tires are BFG T/A KO's (305/70/18).

It does look nice. I'm looking for wheels myself. I couldn't find the 114's in the 18x9.5. (only 18x8.5) with different offsets & backspacing. Is that correct? What is your Offset & Backspacing if you don't mind me asking?

Not sure of those measurements but I did have to install 1.5" wheel spacers to keep the front tires from rubbing the leaf springs at full wheel lock.
