I don't have a lift, but I purchased both the Trailmaster leveling kit and the body lift. I ended up selling the body lift since I have the tow hooks and the hitch because it didn't look right to me for some reason. I had the aluminum pucks milled down a little so that I wouldn't get the full 1.5 inches of lift, still haven't installed them though. YMMV

I have the TM 2" leveling kit and 2" blocks installed in the back.

Here is my most recent side-on pic of my truck.

I like the paint scheme on your truck and the headlights. Nice job man!

I had a couple of questions for you, i'm pretty new to trucks and I wanted to do the same lift as you.

What does block lifting require? Do you have a picture of the kit before you installed it, there is so many different kits...

After you installed the front leveling kit, did you have to do an alignement.

What size tires are they?

Thanks!
