its a 3 inch rustys kit.

SO after a bunch of blood, sweat and theseAttachment 386525

It turned out like this.Attachment 386526



I must say i am very happy with the road manners of this kit. Soon to come is 32x11.50 tires, a rear locker, and some armor. Stay tuned.

how hard was it to put in that lift kit?

Not hard if you have some experience and some buddys to give you a hand. The hardest thing was bolting up the new leaf packs.

Nice ride. You could be wheeling that thing for a long, long time.

32's will look snazzy.

I used to have a 98 with low miles... now I have a 95 with 160k :brickwall:

I hope so on both accounts.

What happend to your 98?

I sold it to buy a truck that I thought I needed. Although I made a little money on it, I wish I had it back. Sold it for 6k to a guy from Seattle when I lived in Sandy.
Nice photos by the way. Where u from? I recognize that mountain from somewhere ;)

looks nice! I also have a 98 and 3in lift :thumbup:

Oh very nice, Thanks. Im from hillsboro or, soon to move to Vancouver wa. You from PDX?

Been working 52 hour weeks so i havent had time to do much. Here it is, Sliders made by BDC fab. 31 inch wildcats that i got for 8 bucks a piece. And some pics of it all. Waiting for the ups guy to bring my Rustys tow hooks, and Mudfrog exhaust kit.
