    So Im currently waiting for my new frame to arrive (approximately 5 more months). I was going to wait to lift my truck however would it be better to do it before or after? Looking at the toytec 3" lift with aal and light racing uca.

    ask if they can put it on for you while it's torn apart. some have had success. never hurts to ask

    For the amount of work involved, which really isn't that great, I would go ahead and do it myself. 5 months is a long time for the lift :)

    depends on where the rust is too. if it's near the leaf hangers you could potentially make the truck un-drive-able in the process

    since you are looking at AAL wait for the new leaf packs. the dealership, from some people's posts, usually doesn't care unless it's visually horrible. even then it depends on the person whether they care to mention :notsure:
