08 is now lifted!!!

well she is done! well almost... the shop wasn't sure if they needed to install the add a leaf pack that marty told me i would need. so they didn't put it on. well it needs it. she squats in the rear. so on Saturday they are installing the leaf kit and doing the alignment. also they will put on the wheel center caps. they told me that it was the best kit they had EVER installed. there first truly bolt on kit, that didn't need some sort of cutting or modification. they were very impressed. driving home on the highway it shimmied but I'm assuming it is due to needing an alignment. right?

wow is she nice!!! i had a big stupid grin on my face all the way home.

rize 6" radius arm lift {sits 7"} 37" toyos on 20" XD Monsters. sits i think 9" over stock.

thank you! thank you! thank you! Overkill and DC Special for your help and guidance. also your web site pictures helped sooo much. because of you i not only got the look i wanted, but a lift that rides great and will last me.

here is a few pics. it was late and the truck is not done yet. i will post the finished product this weekend!

Looks good......has a little bit of a prerunner stance at the moment

Once it's aligned and the rear is lifted and the rear driveline properly shimmed you shouldn't experience any shimmy.

Looks awesome. Would you mind sharing what installation runs on that kit? I'm thinking of going with a 4.5" Icon lift soon.

Great looking truck The only sad thing about lifting one of these trucks is now the times you look back at it while walking away will now double.
