Lifted my truck

[Pockets]

So as some of you know I recently got new tires on my truck

http://www.autopiaforums.com/forums/off-topic/41396-new-shoes.html

Wellllll that started a whole new problem that had them rubbing on the upper control arm

So I than had to buy new rims that pushed the tire out more and that gave me a whole lot of rubbing on the front and rear fenders (knew I had to get a lift with the new rims before I ordered them)

Well after a few days of working on it with a friend of mine we were finally done! It was a lot harder than I was expecting .... we had to drop everything down the front diff the rack and pinon had to swap all the parts out inside the knuckle extend the brake lines and the list goes on haha

It's finally done and I'm loving it! Wish I had done it sooner though onto the pics


New Rims Moto Metal 18"x9 -12 offset

New rims and tires no lift

Pulled up ready to start

Just a during pic I snapped

New Crossmembers and skid plate

All done and on the ground!

Outside in front of Poorboy's World

Had to give her a quick wash with Super Slick and Wax and used QD+ as the drying aid

So that's it here is a quick comparison of before and after

Loving the high life driving around

Oh yes new found glory! We thought it would streak a lot but Nick@autogeek tried it and loved it and now that's all I use (well sometimes I give the Spray and Gloss some lovin)

Love putting a little bit of wax on there while I'm drying kill two birds with one stone and your all over lazy so I guess you will be doing it now too? :lmfao

The truck looks great in red (with the lift & wheels). Nice job Pockets!

Saw this already at the PB forums but had to open this up and admire it again. Truck looks really good. A lift makes a huge difference.

 

[boostedmoose003]

What lift did you go with?

 

[BobbyG]

Holy smokes Chris!! :yourrock

What a difference from when I saw it last summer!!! :bigups :bigups

Nice to have a lift isn't it!!! :bow

 

[Rocket]

How much of a lift is that and what kit? It looks great. I wanted to lift my truck but I quickly realized I wouldn't fit in the parking garages I have to park


Looks great

 

[GearHead_1]

Looks nice Chris.

 

[Pats300zx]

Looking good Pockets. Looks like a totally different truck. :rockon

 

[Beemerboy]

Looks nice, not to high as some I've seen and the rim and body color combo works for me!

 

[polisher]

off road trucks need to be detailed too. looks clean

Haha thousands of dollars in gas later

What lift did you go with?

I did a Rough Country 6" lift and instead of using the spacers up front I did Bilisten shocks all around

Holy smokes Chris!! :yourrock
