I didn't catcht eh year of your truck.

However get pics of the bodt to frame ground straps over the rear wheels.
Get pics of the filler neck mods, if any.
pics of the tranny shift linkage wleding, if pre '95, post '95 pics of any brackets or what ever needs to be done to the shift linkage, if anything.
pics of the wiring under the battery tray, tranny cooler lines, and lower fan shroud modifications.
plus pics of the steering linkage.
get pics of your current truck and the gap between the tires and the body as it sits now, then do a few more pics after the lift.
get pics with and without the gap gaurds too.
Here's a link to my '87 body lift. Use it as a model and make improvements. Its not the best so I never really posted it.
