Thumbs down performance auto 3" body lift

i finnaly bit the bullet and installed it tonight... actually wasnt to bad (other than having to completely VIOLATE my core support, and some crappy instructions) ... there are quite a few time consumming things you actually dont have to do... like, taking apart the e-brake system, pulling the fan and clutch (just put a piece of cardboard between it and the rad.), pulling the fuel filler... actually most all of it you dont have to do other than the ground strap on the pass. side, ant the steering shaft.... anyway enough ranting, over all i love the way it looks now, but u-all are going to have to wait for pics untill i get the custom rear bumper built tomarrow

Can't wait to see it. You might have to make a few of those bumpers. My stock one is starting to rust out a bit.

the bumper is a little crude... i built it simple, unlike the front, but its not done yet, still have to add some d-rings and line-x, and i was able to put my front tow hooks back on...but here it is

Yeah, you do need some beefier tires under there. I bet it won't be long...
