Its a 2in spacer, 3in body lift and 3in spindle lift. Only 6.5in of lift in the back

and the job is great news. If anyone has questions PM me. I guess it will be a DIY so they will anyway haha

Did you use my spacers?

Sorry about your leg man, that sucks! I have never had a problem poping off the top of the spindle with pressure. I usually keep another jack under the lower ball joint and slowly loosen the spindle after poping it loose thus removing the danger of that accident. Why were you standing so close when your buddy poped it off? Get better Matt, that's a big jump to get into the drivers seat.

Oh and the truck looks absolutely sick! Congrats.

EDIT: also just noticed, where are the flares?

This thread is from awhile ago. I did use your spacers though!

And yea I never have before either. The jack was there, but the piston was loose and when the weight was on the jack it collapsed.
