Thanks for all the compliments.
Here are your answers.
It rides fine.
2.5 inch leveling kit. $89 National Tire and Wheel
2 inch blocks $30 Advance Auto Parts
3 inch body lift. $355 National Tire and Wheel
U-bolts. My buddy had them made at Wheeling Spring and then did a six inch lift so he gave me these.


Dodgenitto, the black wheels are being sold. Too many trucks around here with black wheels. I love the Mud Grapplers but I've always got my kids in the truck so I don't want a rough ride.

I love the shaved look. Oh, wait, we're talking about your truck? That looks good too.

Good, clean look. Just the right amount of lift for your tire size! Plenty of room for good articulation, yet the tire wells don't look empty. Great Job!!!

I debated leveling and body lift, but opted for a 4" suspension lift at the time, basically because I've had three trucks with body lifts and had never done a suspension lift. I was 38 at the time, and have had back surgery and really wanted to see if a suspension lift cut down the bouncing around the cab off-road. I found it does, but if your young and don't mind a little jouncing around, your setup is fantastic and obviously a lot less costly then the route I took...

Did you do the install yourself? If so, is it very difficult to do,something that could be handled in a weekend with hand tools? If not how much was the install? Beautiful Truck man!

Who are you talking to? You can do both lifts in your garage. The body lift takes some time. Mine took about ten hours to do. I had to let air out of the tires to get it out of the garage when I finished. LOL.
