RC 3.5 inch lift is going on this weekend

Postby gmctruckguy [OP] » Apr 22 2011, 4:50am

Well finally home from work after 6 weeks and the RC 3 1/2" lift is screaming at me to install it, so this weekend the lift is finally going in. BFG All Terrain A/T's are getting put on and alignment done on Tuesday. I'll post some picks of the before, during and after, and with the 265's on and then the 285's. :D

I am soooo monitoring this thread closely. I just got my quote for the same kit and have been on the fence about it only because I have not seen any pics of it done on a newer crew cab. Did you opt for the optional control arms?

This weekends projects

Postby gmctruckguy [OP] » Apr 22 2011, 3:33pm

Defiantly black out, can't stand white letters. As for the how to why not. I'll be taking enough beer breaks with a buddy who wants to "help out" with the lift. Lol
