Default 3" Lift Installed today *PICS ADDED*

Well today I installed my top gun customz lift 3". Took me about 3 hours for the front and about a hour for the rear. And this was mostly taking my time and assuring things went right. I could do it faster next time I think, but whats that matter. I will have to get some pics soon. The 285's look small now hahahaha...and where they used to rub, they BARELY do now, that was on the lower control arm. I still have to install the shocks, top gun didnt have any in stock and they shipped them out to me the other day. I am really happy with how it came out, and glad I did all the work. Ill get some pics for you guys then

285's look small huh? I had 265's with my 3 inches for a long time, I just bought 285s and to me they look perfect

I also notice that it rides better as well compared to the individal spacers there were in from the previous owner.
