"Cos short cuts can cost more in the long run"

Makes it a bit awkward to get in and out of if you have short legs though!



Looks good

Looks good mate.














Told you it needed more lift for 33s

hahahaha!! was fine for driving dude, but off roading, when the tyres got shit up it soon filled the arches!!

All done now tho, and i'm dead happy with it. Cant believe i was quoted £600 for that job! It was this forum and the vast amount of knowledge that made me understand how to do it myself and saved me that money!!

So, to all aboard, and all who helped me keep £600 in my pocket/bank/bills......... i thank you!!

Fancy doing another one in the spring...?

Think the time is nigh....

Your truck looks great!

With all the money you've saved, you can afford to subscribe to the forum now! You'll get a lovely blue star and if you ask Koi he'll send you some stickers to put on that truck - further enhancing its appeal and making it rare and worth more! Stickers may also increase mpg by 30%

Well happy with it, not noticed any further issues, can't believe how high it is now! Pics dont really tell true story tho. Im just under 6' tall, and the back of the truck is now about 6" taller than me!

Thanks again for any input you may have given, much appreciated

?was your truck standardheight before the lift?

Just wondering how much has it cost you for the lift & fixing snags? Obviously not the £4M that Charles wanted...?

It cost me £62 for the body lift kit, obv nothing for the labour cos i did it, and then i gave my mate who did the snags £20!

So, £82 for a complete 2" bodylift!

I started at 9am, the truck was lifted, and secured by 4pm. My mate and I did the snags the day after, about 3hrs.

?was your truck standardheight before the lift?

Yes mate, was completely standard. on standard 15" alloys, with BFG 30" AT's.

Sorry what I was trying to get too is you said in an earlier post that you did a 2" lift but now that truck had jumped up 6" when you stood by it..... was that just from the 2" lift or have you also done;

2" Sus lift - check
33" tyres - check

Which give you the extra heght on top of he 2" lift...if so then how much did the 2" Sus cost..
Thanks
