Thanks Clay (Riffraff Diesel) - 12.5" Lift Installed

As many of you know I have always wanted to go higher with my truck. It has been quite a project over the last few years. Well it finally has happened... I called Clay up with Riffraff Diesel and he set me up. This is what I ordered...

- Icon 12.5" lift kit
- One Up Offroad Traction Blocks www.oneupoffroad.com
- Attitude Performance Re-indexing Ring for the Transfercase
- Attitude Performance Transmission Crossmember
- Dynatrac Ball Joints
- One Up Offroad extended my rear driveline
- Stainless Brake Lines
- Icon's Signature Series Reservoir Shocks
- One Up Offroad Carrier Bearing Drop Kit
- Some 40" Toyo M/t's that I got off Craigslist

So far it rides better then the tuff country 6" lift kit, and even turns better too....

I have to thank Clay for getting everything together, he has been a great help to my project. Any of you guys who need anything... and I mean anything, Clay can find it. www.riffraffdiesel.com Shoot him an email and I challenge you to find something that he can't get..... sales@riffraffdiesel.com

I also have to thank Milleroutdoors (Mark) for letting me use his shop and helping me out through the whole process!!! Then Rockrunner (Tyler) also helped me out with part of the install.

Next on the list is some One up offroad steps and their fancy hitch..... and plus some needed gears...

Here are some pics... not the greatest. Hopefully the weather gets nicer, it has been pretty nasty the last couple of weeks.

Looks awesome! Wish I could have been there to help Steven.... I'm really interested in the drop bracket for the carrier bearing.

Jeff, that drop bracket is one of the best built parts I have seen. Simple but fit perfect. Pictures turned out good Steven.
