    Not really....just follow the instructions closely & don't loose any small parts (nuts/bolts/washers)....like I did. Having the truck on a lift really made it easier than other lifts I've done in the past with jackstands & rolling around on the floor.

    You'll have to take apart the coilovers to add the large bushing/spacer at the top of the coil. I had to go rent a strut tool to do this.

    Yea my BFGs were small to begin with but even worse after they lost all that tread. A couple people have asked me if I went up a size since I got my new nittros. What tires you looking at getting?

    That would be cool, would you do 37x12.5 or 37x13.5 How much lift would you need in the front? I think if you got up to 8 or 9in front and back with the cab chop mount done you could do it.

    Just say goodbye to your gas mileage if you haven't already lol

    Almost scary it cut so easily.....the metal is pretty thin....about 2 minutes with a sawz-all blade and it was done. The cradle that Pro Comp gives you to replace the cross member is 20x more beefy.

    Walker Evans 2.5 made for 3" lift

    I plan on using the coil spring spacer bracket with my coil overs and adjusting them to whatever I need to match the height of the rear

    My rear lift is already at 3" with a TSB spring and an add-a-leaf and all I need to do is add the block.

    You should look into getting some icon/fox/king coilovers designed for our lifts

    Icons are next on my list to get

    Good news is you can crank them down till you get tired of the spacers.

    :cool: I'm interested to see if this works out....which it should, I think. The Evans 3" coils should eliminate the need for the rubber spacer that bolts in with the coils.......and you should just need to use the metal spacer that mounts above the coils. Post up some pics when you're done.
