Yee Haw!!

Just arrived yesterday.A 6"TuffCountry EZ-Ride 4 corner spring lift!Now I can mount the 35"X-Terrains I got last summer.My Highlander has shocks that are totally gone and a broken(1/2 missing)leaf on each side in the rear.To be cheap and yet "era-correct" I went with White Spokes.Before all the "YUKS",you`ll see,it`ll look right.The truck is still un-restored and I wanted it to look "as-is".I bought 6" EZ-Rides from a board member(front)and that got me started.By the time I bought the rest of the lift,I was at the price of a complete kit.So...I ordered a shackle-flip,2"blocks,and U-bolts from ORD yesterday for the GMC.Now I gotta get the Moola for another set of 35s.I have two sets of 16.5 rims.My goal is to have a variety of tire designs to interchange.I`ve enjoyed these trucks being "stockish",but it`s always been difficult for me.Just changing the stance,though.I`ll do a stocker some day.My CheyenneSuper is the candidate with all it`s options and still "all there".

Good deal. I like the white spokes myself, have them on my GMC. Chrome spokes on the chevy.

I'm sure it will look great - build it how you like - you're the driver! Take plenty of pics as you install the lift.
