Very nice, good stance. Now throw some paint on it its not as hard as you think.

*scottsdaleowner75* · 09-16-2010, 10:34 AM

I bet you they incorrectly labeled it. Mine with a 4 inch lift, 35 inch tires and the HD shackles is 43 1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the center of the wheel opening in the front.

dman1982 · 09-16-2010, 01:19 PM

heres the pics i was telling you guys about, this is what the truck looked like at 500 bucks. the first two are when i brought it home, and the third is when i put the first layer of primer on...i think there is some improvement

benoit454 · 09-16-2010, 01:29 PM

That's the 86 we had with the rough country 4 inch kit. Nothing on ours said 4 inch. We could measure the rear blocks and it say 4 inch on the tape measure, and the front springs had a part number on them I think maybe refference that to their site or something.

dman1982 · 09-16-2010, 01:45 PM

hmmm....im going to have to check my order...lol..i think mine sits bout three or 4 inches higher than yours...nice truck btw

irishman999 · 09-16-2010, 02:46 PM

Im diggin the primer, i really need to do that to mine.

dman1982 · 09-16-2010, 03:53 PM

its rattle can man, only about 50 bucks to do the whole thing, im going to try wet sanding it and then get a spray gun and reprimer it....got a little more body work to do tho

irishman999 · 09-16-2010, 04:16 PM

Is your pointer finger still sore?

I believe i will rent a air compressor from harbor freight, yes rent.

dman1982 · 09-16-2010, 04:24 PM

heck ya it is!!!!!!! it freaking annoying me!!!!! it didnt do that last time i did it...freaking hilarious

irishman999 · 09-16-2010, 04:26 PM

I am not sure if they are around anymore but i bought a handle that snaps on the top of a rattle can with a trigger mechanism that holds down the nozzle. I got it just because of the sore finger that never goes away haha.

Bow Tie Scottie · 09-16-2010, 05:10 PM

At least it has a nice front bumper plate (USMC)! And did it come already raised?

Bow Tie Scottie · 09-16-2010, 05:16 PM

BTW, there are some cool amtrack and tank trails near by to test it out and show it off.

benoit454 · 09-16-2010, 06:36 PM

man $50? you can buy a gallon of thinner and gallon of flat black primer for $30 at the body shop supply store here lol. I would have at least bought the spray gun handle/trigger thing.

You can pick up a cheap gun at lowes or wal-mart I got a $50 devilbiss and have done many primer jobs and plenty of paint jobs with it too.

dman1982 · 09-16-2010, 07:35 PM

ive had that licence plate on 5 or 6 vehicles now...goes on every new one i get lol...and i put that lift on after i got back from deployment....and as far as the tank trails go...i dont work over that way anymore so its hard to tell if people are out in those lz's

Rollinsqrbdy · 09-16-2010, 11:21 PM

Dude your truck is soooo sweet. I like the primer look on it. I agree with the others though, I think its a 6'' lift also. Heres a pic of mine with a 6'' lift and 35's. They look lifted bout the same. Great job on the truck. I'd like to see some more pics of it. What other plans you got for it?

dman1982 · 09-17-2010, 05:25 AM

hey rollins....so far my goal with the truck is to just make it a good daily driver, which it is right now but my bigger plans mostly consist of putting a bigger gas tank on it...the 16 gallon tank sucks, and a new 350...nothing fancy just a solid 350 with around 300 or so hp and around 350-400 ft lbs of torque....i like to use my trucks lol...i want to get the interior finished....so far ive put in new carpet and radio, lift, tires, and tune up....and obviously primer lol oh and a steering column, my last one took a dump on me...it was so loose that the column was causing the truck to stall...lol....but man your truck looks good too

That happened with one of my buddys rough country sent him a 6 inch and everything to go along with it when he had ordered a four, pretty lucky IMO

dman1982 · 09-17-2010, 05:36 AM

justpball · 09-17-2010, 08:03 AM

jitteryguy · 09-17-2010, 01:46 PM

a neighbor kid had a truck that look'd like that, I wish I would have bought now. yours looks good.

chevyman95 · 09-17-2010, 02:13 PM
