finally lifted (thanks michaels!)

[stolenheron]

install went pretty smooth thanks to having people there who actually knew what the fuck they were doing (aka Michael, who did at LEAST 80% of the work). Took like 4-5 hours? with probably only 3.4-4 hours of actual labor (The rest was bullshit time we wasted).

the truck rides like a totally different vehicle on paved and dirt roads and helps me get over some (very little) obstacles in tuskegee which i was prevented from going over previously thanks to my trailer hitch and rear step hitting the ground.

thanks a ton to:
-Michael (everything lol)
-Robert (tools, labor)
-Jack (tools)
-Drew (quick assist)
-Lee (for the parts)
-Matthew/Franklin tire and auto (tires/tools)

lift:
-RTE 2" Lift (HD rear springs) with OME Shocks
-Toyo Open Country A/T 285/60/18
-flipped/notched spare tire carrier

hell yea! looking good. looks like you had a good set up for apartment work. if i did something like that in my apartment days people would shit. glad i have a garage now.
never had peroni i'll have to give it a shot. i've been drinking (beer wise anyway) stella artois, belgium the last couple of years. they been brewin since 1366, 633 years

[jake_ak_cent]

its about time man. Geez. Lookin good

[DRaider90]

Looking great man, its a major improvement! I know how much 2" can make, my truck before and after the 2" body lift is night and day. Now all you need are some good M/T tires on there and you will be set. Either way no you have no reason not to get up out to Uwharrie to wheel with us.

[mbrummal]

you still need a bumper up front.

[Jupiter Rover]

I like those tires. Your truck finally looks mean now. Good work.

Off topic... I didn't know you were a tampa bay fan. Are you going to to the game against the Giants? I'll be there.

Btw, Good luck against Miami next week.

peroni tastes a lot like stella. you'll like it. pretty much the whole case of that is gone after tonight. time to start working on the corona...

maybe one of these days chris will work on his own truck and i won't have to always come do shit for him.

no i won't be attending any bucs games this year. we sold our season tickets (which my family owned since 1976 (when the bucks started) when i went to college.

no, michael, even if i know what i'm doing, i'm too lazy to do it. I'd rather pay you with booze haha.



hmm mason, don't you still need a lift AND a headgasket job? and a roof rack? lol

[LebaneseShowoff]
