Driving it home from the dealership


New wheels, Ugly ones at that


No topper!


20% tint and painted the stock wheels black


Added 5100 bilstiens to the front set at 2.5 with Alcan leaf pack in the rear



New Duratracs (265/75/16)


New bumper, needs some lights and a winch now!

 

Lookin good so far!


I might have seen your taco in Fort collins before

 

Lookin good dude. Similar to my truck! Do you have the TSB springs? And, did you have any alignment issues with the billies set at 2.5?

 

Maybe?? I have only had it for about a month now.

 

I do not, Alcan leafs, and I had no problems getting my alignment in to spec. I have my print out if your curious as to what my numbers were

 

Guess not then
lots of lifted trucks in Foco!

 

Oh yeah, wish I had the bank roll to do half the stuff I see. You have a pretty sweet rig also!

 

New girlfriend proof bumper just installed!

 

retrofitted the stock fog lights to fit in the All Pro bumper (temporary) till I can afford the Ridged Industries Dually led lights. Also painted my D-rings to match emblems


Fogs, looks weird up close but the rubber gasket is not noticeable from a few ft away.

 

Put on Spidertrax wheel spacers yesterday and couldnt be happier with the look!

Color matched grill

 

I got my self a present today, Icon UCA's! 35's are coming in the next month. Time to start cutting up some fenders.



Stock UCA's


Icons

 

Also took the flares off so I can get some cutting done tomorrow.

 

Cutting done,


And picked up some new goodies. Time to do a real lift and get rid of the bilsteins!

 

oohoohoh yes, I know this feeling, I just recently got my mid travel setup put on, havent gotten the brakelines on yet, but it is definitely nicer having the mid travel on. I used to have a Rough Country 3" spacer lift on before going mid travel. lookin' good, what all did you get?

 

Thanks! I bet it was night and day compared to the spacer lift. I cant wait to get it all put on test it out. I got the stage 2 icon set up with some TC UCA's and a diff drop. I got a deal on the whole set so I couldn't say no. Im going to end up selling most of what I bought. UCA's to my dad since I just bought the Icon UCA's, the diff drop and the add a leaf are also up for grabs.

 

very nice, thats gonna look awesome, ya its a nice ride with the new suspension on, although I need to raise my coilovers up since my Allpro leafs are higher than the old block I had in the back with the factory leafs. being 2wd is both is nice and sucks, its nice since i can get lift spindles but I dont have control of my front axle lol

 

Did you put the CO on with them set at the original height from the factory?

 

ya I did, I didnt realize that my rear end wouldnt settle very much with the new leafs lol, if I new that, I would have pre adjusted them higher before putting them on

 

Well, I got them in!




And the Rears before the resi got strapped down


Couldn't be happier with the turn out.
