Here we go finally Rough Country 5" ( Pic Added 9 May)
Well after having the EX for 3 years im finaly gonna start. Im running 285/75/16. all else is stock.
I replaced the ball joints and noticed the spings are resting on the bump stops WOW.
So today i ordered the rough country 5" lift it will be here friday. Also by chance i found a set of brand new hankook 315/75/16 with a 1 year factory warranty for $500 so you know i picked those up.
So this weekend the EX will go from stock to 5" with 35's all for $1300 cant beat that. I will post lots of pics and look forward to all the interesting posts.

The lift went on the truck today. I have to say it was not to bad at all, as long as you have an understanding of how the suspension goes together and works you should be fine.
I want to apologize in advance for not taking as many pics as i would have liked. I was on a time crunch the shop i used was only open a few hours today. The install took me 5 hours from start to finish, however i had air tools and a lift. If you are going to do this in your driveway plan a weekend. Heres what i got.
