Lift and wheels done!

[Slim]

Well, earlier this week my truck went into the garage looking like this .....

That was with 205/75R15 Bridgestone Winter Dueler snow tires. Is started with all 4 ball joints being replaced just over a month ago. Then drove it a bit. Then I installed Rancho RS5000 series shocks on it, front and rear, which helped with the bottoming of front suspension immensely, thanks to the well-sagged springs up front. That was 3 weeks ago. Then I lifted my truck earlier this week with a Sky Jacker 2" lift kit (leveling coils up front and add-a-leafs in the rear). The truck is up a good few inches with just that .....

Then Saturday morning I took my new rims to get new 235/75R15 B. F. Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO tires put on.

Today my truck came out of the garage a looked like this .....

Took it the the gf's Dad's place where we replaced the broken lower shock mounts that broke from when I put the Rancho's on.

It's definitely higher, by 3-4". It's meaner looking. It behaves well (so far!). It's not a slug by any means. It's quiet and way smoother than before in every way.

It needs the factory fog light set up with bumpers and grille painted black though!

But then that's it, it's done.

Thanks to everyone here that has helped, with info and motivation.

Dude that is nice! I like how the tires look. Nothing crazy but tastefully good looking haha. Also i highly recommend painting the grille and bumpers black. I did that and it really makes things look good.
