You've done an amazing job on this truck man, can't imagine what it's going to look like 3" higher.

Hi guys, got a nice package today:



It contains:
-3" body lift kit
-diff cover
-blend door actuator
-washer pump
-rear wiper motor



I want to say thanks to Chris, aka old skool luvr who collected those parts and sent them to me. He`s a great guy to deal with! Thank you Chris

Now I`m going to get those parts in. It`s supposed to be good weather the next days, so I`ll hopefully get it in without snow...

Hmm, how do you open the hood with a snorkel like that?

This is what I`ve got done so far:





Got all body mounts loose except of 4. Will do them tomorrow...

Just read the instructions, do I really have to remove the radiator and shifting linkage?

I thought I just have to remove the fuel filler and oil filter bracket along with the battery cables...

Installing the bodylift took me about 5 hours. It was straightforward, without any trouble...

One side done:





Done:



Bumper brackets:



Finished, except of the rear bumper:







Damn, I need bigger tires... Those 32`s looks tiny...

It took me about 2 hours to get my shifter working again, but it`s done now...

Will mount the rear bumper and a new diff cover with armor tomorrow...
