Very nice! Good job! Now get some tires on there that are proportional.

How hard was the steering extension, and did you weld it?
I'll probably have some other questions for you about this as I get closer to doing mine.

that was easy, just slide an extension on it bolt down that you did not have to weld ill take pic under the hood tomorrow still gotta do the rear bumper raise it 2 inches .gotta order the part..

The PA kit shows you how to raise the rear bumper without having to buy the rear brackets. Do you have a PA body lft?


Silver,
your truck is new enough to where you will not have to extend your t-case shifter. Your t-case shifter assembly is bolted to the body and comes up with the body. You just have to adjust your linkage. The older trucks have a different set up for a t-case shifter.

The steering extension is very easy to put on. You just unbolt your steering shaft from your steerring gear and then slip the extension in and rebolt everything.

the pa kit tells you you can redill holes into the frame to raise the bumper instead of buying the raise brackets. silver isn't going to need to weld his t case lever becuase his is a 99. The only welding i needed to do to mine was the shifter linkage.

thats right , like i said 94-97 needs the welding.... pa bumper height is 30" and ill be damn close.. silver is in the clear for the welding..

I can't beleive it took you 3 days though. Everyone says it is usually 8-12 hours. I know i'm not going to have 3 days to do mine anytime soon. Maybe 1 full day, and a little the next is all. Now you got me worried.
