Got-r-level! With pics.

My load out cancel today so I figured it was time to get that leveling kit put in, that I bought about 2 months or so ago. I headed over to my buddy Jon's shop where he has a truck lift that made the job a little simpler....Now for some pics, sorry none of the install, we hastly put this in becuase he had another car coming for service. We had to move FAST. Now for some pics.....

I got it off of ebay and with shipping it was around $62 or a little more? I found out about it when Steward H started a thread about them in March of this year. He's got a link going straight to them in that thread.

Yes you can Matt, this is what I got 1999-2004 FORD-F250-350 2-1/2 SHACKLE LIFT KIT THE BEST : eBay Motors (item 330428275099 end time May-27-10 18:48:55 PDT) You can also do OBO and he might save you on shipping, he's a good guy to deal with from what everybody says. I got mine from a member here paying it forward, Zack7.3 Big Joe, nice job, the truck looks great and that 08 cover is nice, no more leaks now from corrosion

Yes Sir it is, we took and salvage the 90 degree elbow from the stock exhaust and welded it in, and added the 4 inch tip to spruce things up a bit. A lot of people like the way it sounds.

Your welcome, even though you want everything at once and trust me, we all would but it sure is fun doing these mods one at a time and just seeing the results at a pace, it does for me anyways. I still have intank and 350 blocks sitting on the workbench waiting to go in, it never stops..

I certainly agree with you, I didnt do all these mods today, I guess i should of said I have done them over time...Just felt it was a good time to showcase some of them with these pics. It had also dawned on me that I really havnt posted any pics of my truck on here at all, so I felt it was a good excuse to do so.
