Yep must be drinking again.


Truck looks good i would do a lift and tire setup first.

 

I thought we had an unwritten rule...NO SELF PORTRAITS ALLOWED!!

 

how hard would it be to throw a 6 or 7" fabtech suspension lift on there myself?

 

It takes a little effort. You can ask for help to someone who knows about suspension lift installation.

 

Unless you are good with suspensions and have quite the set of tools, its not something that is easy to install.

 

From what I understand you'll need a torch, a good impact gun and some serious impact sockets, a good bit of room, two floor jacks and some jack stands, someone to help you lift and position stuff as you put it together, maybe even ball joint removal tools.

All I remember from asking a mechanic who did his own lift was that I would spend more in tools than what I would to install the lift myself. And thats before bribing friends with beer!

 

Newbie here - Hope you post your mods when you're done. I'm going to look into a spindle-lift in a couple of months. Let me know how your experience goes with the body lift for ref...

 

4wheelrunner, i put a 2 1/2in torsion lift in my truck and it only took about 3 hours, you just have to get the front end re-aligned afterwards. I bought everything through roughcountry.com for around $130. Thats keys, blocks, ubolts, and shocks. It sits just as high as my buddies truck with a 3in body lift AND you cant see the frame sticking down past the body . The toughest part was probably makeshifting a torsion puller tool which broke and shot the gun out of my hand and across the garage O.o lol i recomend going to bonds and spending the $13 on the right tool.

 

Yeah I want to try that if I ever get the money. (Doing a 3" lift). But I won't dare try doing a 4-6" lift on my own.
