its easy to spend 6k if your not doing the work yourself. i do all my work myself and i cant imagine what labor on a lift kit is. i got like 10 hrs in my body lift. garages around here charge like 79 bucks an hr. lol

jggtjr- ive been thinkin about doing my own gap guards too. i cant see spending the $ on performance accessory ones when its just pieces of rubber lol

No, I observe them, Even in the 63" chevy swap thread you mock it for being a junkyard option. Not everybody has several grand to put into their suspensions and is as elite as yourself.
well if you observe my every move, then you would know that i got my coilovers in exchange for a set of wheel adapters (which i beat the hell out of with 35s and never had problems with) and an old alpine cd player. all at just over a $100 value. im just patient in finding GOOD parts and save up money if i have to. ive seen Deavers go for $100 bucks!

Then why do you put down inexpensive mods?

Well I just finished my body lift to go with the suspension lift and thought I would post some pictures. The tires are 33" General Grabber AT2's and I'm really happy with this truck for being 17 years old. Let me know what you think.

*And I have wheel spacers in the mail*







I really like that color..... looks really neat!!!!

i dont put down inexpensive mods, i disapprove of cheap (quality) mods especially when theres better options for close to the same price range!

But production body lifts and chevy leaf swaps are not bad quality.

Hey guys...sorry it took me so long to realize my post was re-vitalized. I had posted a thread with an update about a month ago, so here's the link to that

http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77357

This should clear up a few questions you guys might be having haha. I will say it now...the experienced people on this forum were completely right! The truck is a bit lower now and I personally think it looks better. Comment on my newer thread so I can put this "upsetting" thread to waste. Thanks everyone! All your help is greatly appreciated by me.
