Looking pretty good. Did the body lift go on smoothly?

hahaha...you crack me up, I WISH!! Ok, Im just kidding. It went fairly smooth but it did take 2 days to do it. The first day I lifted the cab and the second the bed(about 9 hours each day). I took my time because nothing ever turns out the way you want if you rush it. I ran into all of those little things that piss you off because they take so long to work on, like rusted bolts, and those welded nuts on the inside of the rails under the bed that broke off. There were other things that didnt quite go my way but I am VERY PLEASED with the results. If I had to do it again I would because I know I wouldnt regret it, even if it means losing some more blood and cussing a few hundred times:p

Don't sweat it. My body lift took that long too. If you think '98 bolts were rusty, try '70. Nice truck, post some more photos with the 33" MTs you'll have to buy now. It'll look real sweet then.

wildwood: I'm already running 33" tires( I also have a 2" suspension lift) so I'm upgrading to 35's

rooler: Could you do me a favor? I need the measurement from the top of your front tire to the bottom of the fender flare. I know the previous owner cranked the torsion bars on my truck and i need to know how much he cranked them( I'm assuming your bars have been untouched) THANX IN ADVANCE!!!!!
