yea the lift comes iin handy for sure. i wish i had already bought the body lift but i wasnt planning on taking the bed off. anybody know what the max lift with stock brake lines is cause my rear one is tight and the truck is still on the lift and the axle isnt even all the way dropped.

97tn4x4,

2 questions.

1. What size buckshot did you put on?
2. What part of Memphis are you located? I live in Lakeland. You can email me @ 'cdgobbell@fedex.com' if you want.

Thanks

curt

yeah it was most definately a pain but not too bad. on the front though skyjacker says to put the lower control arms in first but i found that putting the upper arms in first starting with the frame side made things go much smoother. They are 35" buckshots.

how did you lift the rear? did you do new springs compeltely, or add leafs/blocks?

if you just did add a leafs and blocks you didn't need to remove the rear springs...........

looks great though
