Just want to start by saying thanks to everyone for posting pics of their trucks and answering my questions!!

I ended up getting the Pro Comp Stage 2 6" lift and pro comp 17 x 9"
wheels and 315/70/17 BFG At's it ended up giving me 5" in front and 3.5" in the rear.

it was one hell of a job but totally worth it!!!

here are some pics of before during and after...

 

Nice lift looks great!!!

What are you doing with the old wheels and tires if you dont mind me asking?

 

looks really good... That is my favorite color on these trucks. I think i am going to have to upgrade to a 6 inch lift next time I need tires. Your trucks stance is perfect. I'm also really becoming a fan of those hide a winch bumpers.

 

Looks good! so the lift in the rear was just an extra leaf? Does it ride any rougher in the rear?

 

Looks good. My preference but I'da gone completely the other way of BFGs

 

Thanks guys!! I love it too!!!!
the old wheels are for sale...the tires are on the truck, they fit with no lift actually, two of them have light surface scratches from mud...pm me if interested.

the rear I used an add a leaf and a 1.5" block on top of the factory block

yea I looked at tons of superduty pics of different tire/wheel/lift combos and lots of research on lift options and came up with what I got...when I do get around to needing new tires...I just got those 1k miles ago I will probably go up to maybe a 36"...but I am happy with it now! I didn't want any super tall truck or just a leveling kit so kinda in between, It is my daily driver...

I like the hide a winch bumper now! not so much before I lifted the truck... but i'd love to have a Road Armor bumper!

 

Super job! The truck look's great with the higher stance. Let me guess what your next mod will be... running boards!

 

Looks great! good job! how long did it take n how many extra hands did you have handy? im plannin on liftin in a month or so n kinda prepin.. Thanks

 

Yup! Still have the factory ones in the garage gonna put them on soon!

Bfg at's only because it's my daily driver

 

thanks! it took the weekend...spent too much time looking for the right tools driving all over the place to find them...one being the pitman arm puller that I borrowed from one of the techs at a local tire shop after breaking two of the Napa ones!!! I got lucky there! it was the techs personal tool...and I didn't know him! but he knew I needed it or it wasn't coming off. it cost me a 12 pack of beer for him and a $100 deposit...but well worth it! the other was a socket to fit the nut on the pitman I think it was like 44mm!! damm!!! there is alot of large hardware that requires serious torque!!! and very heavy awakward parts! this is a two man job! I wouldn't atempt to do it in a driveway. you have to have a good selection of large tools! and a set of jack stands that will get you up high enough! I went and bought some 12 ton stands that had a max height of 30" and was happy I did! It's alot of truck to have over you all day sitting on toothpicks! Now I know why these trucks are called Super Duty!!! lol we did my buddies toyota tacoma lift and it was nothing compared to my truck! I think our wives could have done his toyota.

 

can u get a close up of ur new rims ???

i think u got the same set i have... hard to tell from ur shots so far thou..

p.s. truck looks great btw...

 

Winch bumper is cool. Kinda gives the truck the ole "Bubba Blue" look.

 

Looks really good. Nice job.

 

Looks great!


Ken, that's got to be the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Thanks!!

 

ok awesome! im probably going to go witht eh four inch skyjacker (just new leafs) so im thinking it wont be as bad as your seemed to be. Thanks again
