finally in the air
Well finally did it got a 2 inch leveling kit and 265/70x 17 tires on my truck.
Only took me 24 hours longer than the three to four hours I estimated to get the lift on. Pictures will come. I like how it looks except now the front seems higher than the back, after it settles I may research a rear lift, maybe 1" blocks?
Then again as much of a pain in the a$$ the rust and spring tension was maybe I won't. No one told me I would be cutting off nuts to do this. Or ruining good tools, bent the handle on a c-clamp squeezing the top ball joint back together and had a great idea of compressing the springs to avoid removing the strut, fail and minus one spring compressor that I bent and had to cut off.
But for now it is time for me to

Sucks, but oh well. All you had to do was use a jack under the lower control arm and ratchet strap from the jack frame to the truck frame... haha.
It's worth the hassle though. Takes away alot of the rake these trucks have. Shame it will blow through front end components so fast though.

I think the same thing even my son thinks my truck is leaning as he put it.
