Smile It's finally up (literally)!!!

I spent the entire week putting on my lift kit. 6" BDS suspension kit w/ add-a-leaf. The truck rides SO SWEEEEET, no driveline vibrations and no rough riding. I ran it for 2 days with the stock tires before I got the newbies on and it felt just as smooth as stock. The new mud tires give it a rougher ride though (as expected), but I know I can smooth it out with some A/Ts if I feel like it. Still rides just about as smooth as my friends Titan which is still sitting stock. I put some pics up in my gallery, never done it before, but I hope everyone can view them.

I've noticed a little loss in acceleration, but nothing big. I've probably lost about a mpg from what I can tell, but I can't be sure until I get the speedometer calibrated to the new tire size.
