    It was frozen! Haha It wasn't going to move because we were bending the metal plate like I said! Haha :smack:
    I technically wouldn't have had to replace anything on the rear. The OEM shackles came off no problem. I just had bought new All Pro shackles so it didn't matter. The All Pro shackle nuts are like 24mm! :eek:

    Once you see a good picture of how much lift is has in the rear you'll understand haha
    Thanks!
    You're telling me! It hasn't been washed in about 2 months... :eek:

    Hasn't gotten above 40. But it's supposed to get up to 57 Tuesday, so I'll wash it then if I'm not too tired after work.

    Yeah the angle probably makes it look not as bad. I guess I didn't take any pics of mine after we first did it. I only kept the overloads in for like a day anyways lol

    Haha yeah, it's got some good rake to it. I like it :D

    Why'd you remove the overload?

    I wanted it to sit level, and even after the 3 inch spacers, it sat an inch or inch and a half over. And since I don't haul anything, I took em out

    Ah, gotcha. I personally like a little rake. I think I've got close to 2" more lift in the rear than the front. So I'd guess about 5.5" of lift in the rear :D

    Looks like this...

    I think it looks good on extended cabs. I guess the longer bed plays a factor for me. But it just looked to raked out, and I wanted to see what it looked like level, loved it, never looked back lol. Then all my friends hated me for lifting the rear

    Yeah, I'm ready to see it in the day light out of the garage tomorrow... Haha

    I'm really hoping one of the shops can replace my broken stud tomorrow... surely one of the tire repair shops or collision shops can do it....

    Cant wait to see your truck that ^ one looks good!

    (Cant wait to see mine too!) To get the stud out wont you/they have to remove the axle? (remove tire/wheel brake drum) I think the brakes would be in the way?...

    Thanks!

    No, all you have to do is pull the drum brake cover off, hammer out the broken stud, and then push the new one in by putting an oversize nut over it and then using an open-ended lug to pull it through. Here's a video on how to do it. My luck it wouldn't be that simple and I have to work tomorrow night so I'd rather just pay somebody to do it... :eek:
