    FINALLY

    Okay here we go :yay:
    Two days ago when i pulled it into the shop-Les Schwabs
    [​IMG]
    After a couple hours the front is Complete (I already mentioned the dilemmas with that)
    [​IMG]
    Last night i brought it over to my neighbors who i knew had means to lift my ass end up so i can install the leafs and shocks ;)
    [​IMG]
    This took over 4 hours to complete (Including internet/cleaning time).
    First problem i ran into was installing the new shocks. The diameter of the bushing from the new shock was about the size of a penny, the old one was about a nickel. We lubed and hammered - there was no way in hell that was going on. :eek: I said fuck it, lets just get the leafs done. ANOTHER PROBLEM - could not get the rear shackle bolt off....the damn pin wouldn't come lose...After 30 min decided to take a torch to it. That did the trick. Then drilled out a bit from the shock bushings and hammered them on. Napa fave me 9+" U-Bolts so after installing those i had to cut the ends off so i can properly tighten them. I'm overly happy with the way it came together, truck drives perfectly straight with tight steering - I give thanks to Kyle, Danny, and Cody (IpreferWater) for helping me with this install.
    YES I MEASURED! (Middle of the fenders inches)
    Before After
    RF:35 -- 39 1/2
    LF:35 -- 39 1/4
    RR:35 1/4-- 41 1/2
    LR:35 1/4 -- 41
    As you can see, after you take an inch away from tire gain, i gained 3+ inches up front, and 5 inches out back (Saggy stock leafs). Check out my RAKE!
