I got a 4' breaker not coming yet. I'm going to take walk for nuts and bolts...go figure I'd get 4 upper rear shock bolts off no problem but I broke front lower driver side shock bolts.

 

wait you BROKE a lower control arm bolt? Thats pretty impressive, those things are massive.

 

I think shock bolts.

 

I was about to say.. that makes a hell of a lot more sense. the fronts are easy to replace, just take one of the bolts with you that doesnt break and get 4 new ones.

 

Yup I'm scatter brained lol. I knew it'd be all day all night this blows lol .I was asking since the other kit doesn't come with lower control arms and I have front springs and shocks out if I should put new coils and shocks on and move forward until I can get air tool

 

What size lift and tires?

 

3" lift rc x series 31" 10.5x 15

 

It won't hurt.

 

Keeping stock arms on just for now?

 

Yep. You're just more likely to procrastinate the install of your new arms.

 

Walking home
Look.at this thing lol

 

Gotta find someone with bigger tools or buy a compressor. But your right this is not good way to go

 

Shocks won't, the leafs will if you are just adding a shackle.

 

Checking back in. I've been traveling for the last three weeks on biz to Indonesia and Dubai. Glad to be home and finally get a look at the new RE 3.5" lift that was delivered just after I left. Nice!!! We're dropping it off at the shop tomorrow.

Question on wheels & tires. We're liking the 17x9 matte black Pro Comp 7069's with Spidertrax adapters, and Nitto 31" Trail Grapplers. Being a rookie at this, is there anything I should be concerned with or considering? Thanks guys.

 

get 15x9 wheels - you want a decent amount of sidewall for wheeling. With only 31s and 17" wheels you won't have much.
And i'd recommend a better tire than those Nittos. They wear extremely fast - there are better options if you actually take your truck offroad.

And why adapters? If you're getting new wheels get them with the correct backspacing to work without spacers.
