RE: trucks done!!!!!!!!!
haha thanks.. yeah black and chrome is a good combo along with amber maker lights.. you cant beat it the 3 inch suspension is just 3 inch spacers in the front.. and blocks in the back.. the body lift on the other hand wasnt to bad but just took a hell of a lot of time to do it right.. i could sit here and write for a hour and still leave out some things i had to do.. but mainly it involved diconnecting a bunch of wires, brackets, and the fan shroud. gas filler hose along with the vent hose.. jacking up the body, slide the blocks in, center the cab and bed up and tighten it down.. mount the front bumper on new brackets.. drill holes in the rear for the rear bumper.. put on abunch of brackets and extentions for the hoses and thats about it i guess

Truck looks good!!
Did you end up using the gas line filler extension? I was able to get away without having to use them. Just enough flex in the stock rubber tubing for it to fit with the BL.
How does the truck ride, in your opinion, with the body lift on? Mine felt pretty much the same as it did before the lift. The brakes felt a little different, but I'm used to it now. Other than that, I can hardly tell mine has a BL. Except for the fact its now 3" higher!
Time for some fender flares now hey

heres a pic of the wheel before i put it on.. minus the center cap.. kinda hard to see the backspacing or anything though so after work tomorrow i'll get some better pics..
yeah i ended up using the extention but i didnt have to use that vent hose that came with the kit.. it rides fine to me.. still kinda nervous about getting on it or take sharp turns with the lift till i know everything is tighten down lol.. we had a little mishap with the bed.. picked it up alittle to much by hand and it just about slid off the frame [&:] but we got it all straightened out.. i did notice tonight that the steering shaft was rubbing the brake lines when i turned.. so i'll have to bend those out of the way tomorrow
