Thanks guys. Well bad luck strikes again. Seems somehow the 4wd actuator broke apart while driving to get my wheel alignment done. So if anyone has a spare one, let me know asap.

That bites... Hopefully not too hard of a fix, though

Well the truck looks good. Hopefully you can find a replacement actuator for a reasonable price and get it fixed. Can't wait to see what it looks like all dirty.

Man, its lookin sweet dude. Definately one heck of a dramatic difference. Makes me wish i wasnt broke and lazy so i could get Dale that tall.

As for the 4x4 actuator, do you mean the vacuum actuator under the battery for the front diff or the encoder motor in the t-case? If its the one under the battery you can have mine as i switched to a 4x4 posi-lok cable. Last i checked it still worked and there is no tears in the diaphram. I just stopped using it because i'm pretty sure i got a vacuum leak somewhere so i wasnt getting enough pull to keep it goin. PM me your zip code and if shipping is cheap ill send it to ya free of charge.

Im sorry yes its the Vaccume Actuator under the battery. When you do this lift kit you have to relocate it. So i went to the junk yard and picked on up for $20.00. 

Przach1988- If you into my photobucket link it shows you all the work I had to do. Theres alot of cutting and welding involved. I would reccomend the BDS kit instead because theres minor cutting and welding.

Looks good, are those the ProComp tires you were talking about?  Seems like your truck could use a more aggressive tread to match the b!tchin' lift!

I got lucky that my friends know how to weld and own a plasma cutter. As for the tires they are the Pro Comp tires, I thought about running MT's for a more aggressive look but I daily drive my truck and I know MT's have a bad wear rate. So I didnt want to waste money on tires.

BDS requires minor cutting which means all you need is a sawzall. Instructions are alot better and includes new control arms as well. Plus Superlift is known for sending kits out with missing parts and I learned that the hard way.

that sounds like loads of fun so the bds has no welding if that is so that i could do that pretty much myself (with my dads help) well wouldnt the only welding i need to be done is on the axle to put the plate on top for the leaf springs??? cuz that would be easy to go someone to do just take the axle to them i cant bring them the front of my truck lol so why did you choose superlift over bds?

I chose Superlifts months ago.... I just found out about these problems when I was installing this kit.
