Nice!! I just got a 6" suspension lift from Superlift, Im going to be putting that on as soon as my dad gets back from Japan (ive learned the hard way that projects like this are best done with assistance hahaha) Its all pretty straight forward except im a little iffy about how to install the extnded radius arms...
Everything i got is superlift except the shocks which are pro-comp. I cant wait to get it together because now mine rides like a rock hahaha

Some updated pics of my truck since I installed the air dam, had the windows retinted and the 1/11 license plate. It ain't much but it's paid for and got me through the winter!

Actually no I'm a moderator on a Gibson SG forum and I chose TNT for an AC/DC song and the mean former Marine thing. I use it on other forums of interest.

Ok, two things, to get those radius arms off, you really need to soak the bolts with a good penetrating oil starting at least a week in advance, and even then get a good breaker bar and deep socket and a good set of wrenches. The size is an inch and an eighth for when you're ready....those were tough as heck to break lose on my pickup. And yes these projects need to be done with assistance, both human and liquid .....

Second thing, when you are bolting your axle back up (they dont tell you this is easier in the directions) Bolt your radius arms to the axle, then raise the whole thing up into your frame and drop-brackets........its a heck of a lot easier that way, but they forget to mention that in the directions.

The ride ain't bad. It doesn't hit the frame but it does hit the stock bumpers periodically on rough streets. Never on the highway. DJM has some smaller bumpers that I'm gonna swap out. The left side also sits 1/2 lower than the right so I have to do some more investigating. I may need new rear springs. That'll help the ride some too.

The front sway bar is also a little close to the steering arm but haven't noticed any rubbing.

That's a Cervini's hood.
