    i dig it...

    getting ready to order the lift this week.. the RCD lift..

    why did u run the 18" vs the 17" wheels???

    i was looking at running 285-70-17 wheel and tire combo... according to what i have been reading and figuring out the 285-70-17 is 32.7" tall and the 285-65-18 is 32.6" tall??

    is the 18 wheel and tire combo cheaper???

    It was little higher in price. I just like a bigger rim on a lifted truck. The pics I have don't show the tires justice of how big they are. The nitto trail grappler measure 32.83 little bigger than most 285/65r18s. I personally like the 18s I can always go to a 34 Or a 35 inch tire later on if I want more tire look and pull more height out if it!

    Step 1 should have been shims to correct the angle. Start at 2.5 degrees and go up from there ;)

    okay sitting here trying to figure out how to get the springs from old struts to the new ones..

    have any of you guys used spring compressors u can buy from auto zone and such??

    or another option is to buy after market springs and build them before hand and have em ready..

    gonna install my self so i am just looking for what other people have done in the past.
