On a suck scale of 1 to 10, it was around 60..I'm used to doing them this way I guess..it was the 4th one on my garage floor...couldn't find a lift and couldn't justify the money to pay someone.

I'm about to tackle my brothers half ton this way if the shop never slows down. Last one I did on a lift sucked lol so I'm not looking forward to it!

Settled in at 43 3/4" on the front and 46 1/4 on the back, so it has a very slight rake. Didn't end up using the rear block either. I did however have to do the "big fender mod" to run it so low with these tires/wheels, also had to trim a bracket that sits in behind the passenger fog light to allow me to move the wheel well forward out of the way. Now I can go lock to lock with zero rubbing with a -19 offset rim. Ill get some pics tomorrow of the clearance. Ride is fantastic and cv angles are flat. Couldn't ask for a better look.

You can use the topper with that box. Don't use the factory topper j hook clamps. Get the c- clamps style because they hold better than the factory j hook style.

Change of plans...

Well, I have decided to pursue a venture that has great potential down the road, but unfortunately will not support my current debt...I'm hoping to have a trade deal hammered out today. If not ill post the truck up for sale here. Its being returned to stock today and all aftermarket parts will be posted up if the deal goes through.

And the "new" truck

Ill be picking her up Monday afternoon, had a leaking titan fuel tank that the dealer had to change out. Out the door for 19xxx. Its an 06 lbz 100,000 miles and seems sound. Has a lift pump and a k&n filter, but that's about it as far as I can tell...drove it quite a bit and everything drives fine and is tight. Its leveled with black xd rims, and brand new tires. Small ding in the tailgate, and a scuff on the passenger side that should come right off...
I'm more excited about this 06 then I was my 16, I feel more comfortable in older trucks I guess.:confused:

Its from the denver area, so I'm curious if any members on here know anything about this truck.

EDIT: cant get pics to upload...
