My Christmas present was a lift and tires. I found a used 4.5" Skyjacker kit and jumped on it. It was in good shape other than paint so i threw some black paint on it (wont last long at all) and got some new bushings for the control arms. I know i know, im always talking about getting Thuren's stuff for my truck, this is only temporary. I wanted to make sure this is the height i wanted to be before i spent a ton of money on custom coils and remote rezzy's from Thuren. The tires are 37x12.5r17's Pro Comp Extreme A/T's (not Xterrains). Anyway, heres some pics.

 

All done.


Cleaned her up, and then it rained.

 

Looks good. I like those tires. Looks like parking in the garage may be out of the question now... trucks don't need garage. Nice upgrade.

 

looks good

 

aaarrggghh!!!! aarrgghh!!!! aaarrgghhh !!! oohh i wanna do that soo bad!! but i can pull my 5vr then that looks amazing!!! KABOING BABAY!! what did you use to black your embelms out?? can you post better pics of them they look cool to you should hit your grill and bumpers too

 

Boz looks awesome!!!

 

Just regular old spray paint for the badges. Theres about 7 total coats on there. Ive got an extra grill and a Laramie bumper cover ill be getting painted to match the truck. Heres some slightly better pics of the badges.



Thanks

 

I'm in the same boat as SRT, would love the lift, but have to keep her stock height to pull the 5vr. Looks good.

 

How long did it take to install?

 

i love the black badges....

 

Looks great!

 

Perfect stance.Nice ride.

If you don't mind could you give me a measurement on the total height of your truck.

 

So much longer than it should have. I think it took my buddy and i 12 hours in his driveway. I couldnt get the pitman off, it came off the steering box easy but after that it took alot of beating. Also, on the passenger side, the bolt on the frame for the upper control arm is blocked by the downpipe. If i had known, i would've gotten another from the dealer and hacked the dumb thing off. Other than that, it wasnt so bad.


I'll try to get some measurements tomorrow.

 

Sweet looking truck. You have good taste!

 

Great Lookin' Boz!! I too, love the Black Emblems. Never thought of it for mine. I might have done it if my truck were an '05 black (jet black) and not the brilliant (metallic) black. I can't wait to see it with the new Bumper and Grille! You will love your 3850! Get the FLuidampr put on as well. You won't regret it!
