So I orderd my new lift kit on friday and am gonna recive it tomorow, I already have a 2" PA lift and front 2" coil spacers. Having stock control arms I have no up travel. The kit Im getting comes with new upper control arms and 3" lift coils, with that I will have a totol of 5" of lift in front and a 2" lift shackle in the rear. Im gonna run a 31/10.50/15 tire (I hope) if that dosent fit Ill put a 30/9.50/15. Heres what I got

Looks nice, how do you like having a lifted 2wd? Doesn't make sense to me, but hey, if you like it, that's all that matters.

So I installed the kit today, and let me tell you what a pain in the ***..... The coils were a the worst, they didn't go in the lower arm with out a fight. I dropped it off at the tire shop today and will pick it up tomorrow afternoon and will have pic for everyone to see.

Well its finally done!!!! The kit rides stiff as crap. Hoping that the coils loosen up after a while. Hope every one likes it.
