Well, it was a great start to the long labor day weekend.
I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.
We spent the day installing my 6" superlift. We only got the front installed today, but we had a late start.
Tomorrow we will do the rear lift.
I guess now I need to find some tires.
I am thinking 315's will work for the winter and allow me to use the stock rims for now.
Come spring I plan on putting some 37" toyo's on, but I don't want to ruin my new 20" ultra rims with winter grime.
Right now I have a killer 60 dragster look going....

well gang,
its been a long time coming, but I finally got the lift installed that I purchased almost 6 years ago....
I must say without my buddies lift and help I would be installing this lift for the next couple weekends.
We must have had the truck up and down over 20 times over the duration of the project.
My plan was to keep the stock rear leafs just incase I ever decide to go back to stock, but that idea was tossed in the scrap pile when I found a broken leaf. Well I guess it was a good thing we finally got around to the lift.
The stock shocks with 80k+ miles were as shot as could be. Rusted, leaking, and useless.....
Here she is all finished....
