I have done a lot of reading on here, most of my mods have been thanks to others on here
and there input. Lots of help here!!
This last week I have done a few things to the truck.
PA body lift
Daystar levelling kit
Monroe front struts
Monroe rear shocks - still need to be installed thanks to a stubborn bolt
2" rear blocks

Other than that, not a whole lot else recently

here is a pic stock

more pics to come when I figure out how to do it without photobucket or other outside site.

Good Looking truck. This isn't a pick with the lift on is it? How hard was it to install? Do you have a pic of how low the hitch sits now (if you have one)?

no, that's stock height. Lift isn't that hard to do if you have some basic tools. It's mostly
time consuming, expecially for the first time. If I did one again, it would be a bit easier. The kit is pretty well put together, but it was missing a few 1/4 nyloc nuts etc. that I had
kicking around in my work van. The most important tools would be a 1/2 inch drive (which I didn't have), angle grinder with a cutting disk, torque wrench, floor jack, wood blocks and a set of extra hands around when you need help.
