Well here she is all lifted. I used the ready lift kit for the front 2.5 inch and 2.5 inch rear spacers. Im pretty happy with the results! Ill be getting tires with the tax return and spacers are on the way. Sorry about no before pics... I always forget to take those! This is my first off roading truck ive ever build/ owned so I'm pretty excited to do it, but feel free to please throw any pointers or critiques my way! I'm used to SCCA with a slammed VW GTI so Im trying my best to learn this lift stuff.

Looks good man! Once you get them tires on you'll love it that much more. After lowering mine back down this weekend, it makes me already miss it lifted. Looks like a completely different truck.
And I'll be planning the axle swap soon hopefully. Just hope the weather holds out.

Hopefully it holds out then! Just put on a bull bar, and spacers should be in this week so when they come I'll update with a pic!
Yes I know bull bars kill ground clearance but I only plan to have it on when I DD because I like the look. When I hit the trail the bar and bumpers come off

Spacers, tail light guards, and bull bar are installed, waiting on pics until I get the tires... now the question is do I run 285/75 or 265/75?

if you have the 3.42 gears you might want to stick with the 265's
