Default New lift! (its an addiction)


this is my truck when i bought it with a 6" fabtech,20" moto metals,and 35" trxus AT's



when that wasn't enough i installed the 3" body, 5.13 gears, 38" trxus AT's, and got 20" KMC diesels.



just recently i decided that was no longer enough so no i upgraded to a 12" Full Throttle with tubular upper control arm,heim joint steering upgrades, and fox resi 3.0's









plan on buying 41" IROKS after christmas. 38's are starting to look like 35's lol.

Lift looks great. Now start colormatching. That textured plastic sticks out like a sore thumb.

this is what the lift looked like when i bought it lol . I wanted to have everything powdercoated to color match the truck but the only place close to me that does it wanted 350$ just to powdercoat the leaf springs and he didn't even know what he was doing in terms of pcoating leaf springs he wanted to open the spring pack and do them individually BIG NO NO. now that its finished i wish i woulda went with a flat black instead of gloss but id doesn't look bad in person. thanks for all the comments guys

I just meant get some colormatched handles, mirrors, upper bumper pad that stuff. Other than that it looks really good.

How so? You can clearly see the front drive shaft, and in the last picture you can see the cv shafts.
