Good news, my 3" bodylift should show up next week or so. When it`s on I can finally start the next projects:
-rock sliders
-onboard air
-custom steel bumpers (not sure about that now)

Also considering a SOA mod...

I tried the other day to use bed-liner on one of my small flares and it turned a whiteish color when it dried, only part of it went that color though. Must be the weather or I'm putting it on too thick at one time. That's going to look great with a 3" body lift man. I just installed the 2" PA BL and it's plenty.. but 3" is even better. I may have my gap guards done before you get your lift done so that might give you an idea on which way you wanted to go with that. I may use ice shied roof sheets and put them on with self tapping screws and than bedliner/undercoat the **** out of it to match the truck.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think with 3" you'll def have to get some gap guards to really finish all your hard work.

Hi,
make sure you post pics when you finished...

I really look forward to the bodylift. I really need it to clearance the tires, I don`t want to trim any more...

Also, all the other projects depend on them. I can`t finish the rock sliders until I know how the cab exactly sits...

Hmm, I wouldn`t even think about that if i`d live in the USA. You guys can get replacement parts cheap, but not me in germany...

Bought some air shocks today. I get them from the USA, shipping is more expensive than the shocks...



They have around 10" of stroke, that`s the same a 2" lifted ZR2 requires...

When my on board air is finished I`ll plumb them to a in cab controller, so I can adjust ride height...

What do you guys think about those rear bumper styles, maybe I`ll do one like that...

This without the quarter panels:



This with them:



I`m also on the hunt for a set of front doors to do some half doors...
