    The kit was $1400 from 4 wheel parts. With the tires and rims it was about 3K total. Totally worth it :D

    Nice rig bro! I cant wait to do my 09 4x4. Is that the stage 1 or 2? Any bad vibes or issues? Details on how the ride is, cutting the crossmember,does the rear sit lower, stuff like that. All is appreciated.

    Questions:

    1. How is the ride, honest, is it firm or does the suspension "absorb" the bumbs

    2. How are your CVs?

    3. Would you mind taking a pick of the CVs and driveshaft angles?

    4. Any vibes?

    5. Any wierd noises?

    Edit: How rude of me! Nice truck man! Its nice to see someone lift a 4x4 for once, lol.

    For all those asking, the ride isn't bad, pretty much like stock. You might feel a few more bumps but hey its a truck!
    There were a few "squeaks" when I first finished it but they seem to have gone away. Like when I stopped and and then hit the gas again you could hear some tweaking.
    No vibes as of yet.
    Cutting the rear cross member wasn't bad at all, just chalked an outline and took a sawsall to it. I cut short and then inched my way closer to the line and then finished it off with a grinder.
    There isn't much angle on the driveshaft at all. I'll try and get some pictures when I get a chance.
    With the AAL in the rear it sits pretty even.
    As far as the alignment goes I just kinda eyeballed it to see if the tires had any camber and how bad the toe was. It was off by a little bit but thats what the alignment shop is all about.
    All in all the install was pretty good. It took about 2 1/2 days. It was my first install so I took my time. There were a few parts where I had to improvise (bolts not fitting and what not) There were a few welds, but again noting too bad. It was pretty fun.
