OK finaly some pics of the first lift stage.

[Drumrunner]

I did a 3 inch bodylift with gap gaurds and rear bummper relocation.
iWent ahead and debaged, painted the bowtie, and made a shorty anttena out of the stock one.

While i was at it i fabricated some spacers for the tow hooks.

Here are some pics of the new Falken Wildpeak 305-70-16's

Wow you made that body lift look really good! Can you answer a couple of questions?

how did you relocate your rear bumper? Do you see any rear frame hanging down below the bumper?

What did you use to make the tow hook spacers?

Are your nerf bars modified at all to fit with the body lift?

What brand of wheels are those? Just wondering about the backspacing and offset.

Your truck looks really sharp. Hope mine can look that good one of these days!

After seeing this i think im going to NEED a BL to fit my 305/55/20's

I didn't modify the nerf bar mounting they are still stock height. (But more usefull that way) The wheels are Pro Comps 16x8 with a 4.5 backspacing. The rear bumper is a Zone offroad kit. The spacers for the tow hooks i made out of 1" heavy duty pipe. 1" on the rear of the hook and 1 1/4" on the front to get them back to the factory look.

This is what i started with in september.

I've got visions of body lifts (& some n-fabs) dancing in my head....

What kind of exhaust are you running now with the body lift? Did you have to modify it?

Last question, i promise. Did you have to cut or modify those rear bumper relocation brackets from Zone? I thought they were only for the 4 doors.

My exhaust is in the stock location for now. The truck came with a brand new stock cat back on it. I'm not shure what to do yet but i did paint it black too. I did modify the bumper brackets to fit but its only a small little tab that has to be cut off and Zone said it would be fine to do that. The exhaust will be adressed before the suspension lift goes on.

wow that looks awesome, i have a 3 inch body lift and that rear bumper and the tow hook thing is always kinda nagging. I got some covers called lift lips for the wheel wells and they are nice but they probably wouldnt be hard to make, did you do anything with the wells?

 

[quietfly]

looks really nice

 

[96HoeBo]

[Drumrunner]

My goal is to look like this.

But probably more like this,
