After 6 days of wrenching, cutting, torching, hammering its finally on. It's a Rough Country 3'' Lift with the full leaf packs. After driving it for a few days I must say I really like it! Anyway on with the pics.
Hooray For UPS!!!
In the shop:
On the jack stands:
Getting the front end apart:
Rear end apart:
John putting in the new leaf springs :
Ryan taking out the lower control arm on the pumpkin side so we could get the new spring in:
New spring and shock in:
This ***** took SEVEN hours to get out. It was totally seized in there. In the end a cutoff wheel was the answer:
Front all back together:
Drivers side leaf pack in:
It was a long frustrating road but well worth it. In the end the only casualties were a bunch of bolts that broke off, and two sway bar end links that I broke.
Before:
After:
Questions and comments welcome. P.S. I know I need Bigger tires. Dont worry, they are coming soon.

how does it ride? if stock is a 7 out of 10. then what would you say this is? 1 being the worst. im deciding between rough country and rustys
The ride Is a 6 of ten now, just because of the bumpiness of the new springs. Once they settle I'm sure it will be a 7 or 8.
