Default Truck Upgrades

Well I got the level kit done today and it looks great, but I am not to sure about the shocks since they are 15 and was told I should put on 17" .Got my tailight covers last week and also have on my magnaflow exhaust now so I am very pleased but want more yet. If anyone can give me some feedback on the shocks with the lift please let me know. I used the readylift kit.

Default Level kit

The kit took me about 2 hours to do and was pretty easy. The only problem I had was the c-clamp unloading tool that I rented had the wrong head on it and wouldn't fit into the groove of the new key so I had to put a big socket and then a small on top so it would fit. I got 2 1/2 inches and still can go higher...I would say to 3" so I am now looking into 35" tires and trying to find some heavy duty 17" shocks. Just rent the right unloading tool and you will be fine.

Default The PICS...

I will have pics in the next couple of days...It has been raining so..I will also try to post a video of the exhaust.

The wife hates the level kit cause she is to short and now she really has probs getting in...haha...I told her wait till the 35" tires are on, that another 3" in height. Guess I need to get some nerf bars next.
