Started to install lift kit today what a pain in the ass [rusted bolts,incorrect tools,no coperation] we worked on it from 8:30 this morning till 5pm or so when a wrench slipped and i cut my hand bad enough to go to the hospital. We'll finish it tomorrow i hope.

We got'er done and the rear was a pain to get apart but went together in a flash took a test drive [still drives the same-shitty] but no issues developed,i still have to replace the balljoints/tierods and she'll be all new up front. No DIY [sorry] had a very bad attude yesterday thats what caused my injury i suppose. My sugesstion for folks of little patence [like me] pay somebody else to do this,my truck is from Minnasota so everything has rust on it and the coils do come out without a spring compressor but not going back in [axle won't drop down far enough] 4 links bottom out what a P.I.T.A. I like my truck and i think it'll look great once i get my Dunkin Donut tires [my wife said that] swapped out for bigger ones.Here's a few before and after shots and my massive track bar [this is what i was tightening when i injured myself] upgrade to prevent me from buying endless track bars [stock bar life expectancy is aroun 2-10k I.Y.L. miles at 86 bucks each] i dropped 400 dollars on this piece alone [only cauze the one i wanted was over 500$] and another 250$ for the lift with shocks. I'm almost done still got nerf bars [black] to get and a floor mat also some sort of a crash bar for the front and that will about round out this project.
