20's i still have. For some reason when I put my stock wheels back on I must of cross thread the nut and when we tried removing the nut it just stripped. So we broke out the plasma cutter and chopped that stud off. Yea fun...  This is not an easy install. So far we are cutting the front Diff bracket to mount the new diff drop bracket. I just uploaded some vids as well.

Yea that was the highlight at 5am sunday.. We are pulling all nighters to get this truck done. We've had alot of set backs with this kit. Alot to crap had to be modified. So far i think the worst is over, i think. We are heading out to get the gears pressed and then putting the whole truck back together. The the gears are the only thing now that is holding us back from putting the truck back together.

How many brackets did you have to modify? And what else are you doing other than the lift?

if there were no surprises or set backs to these kits everybody would put them on, it looks like you have a pretty good tool selection to help get it done.

Well so far the truck still isnt done. We had to cut and weld alot of one of the lower cross members. As you can see in the photos. A few set backs were they only shipped me 2 u-bolts instead of 4, the directions are not clear and I think we are missing some hardware. But we wont know till its almost done. So far work has stopped because of the holiday and the fact that the upper control bolt or "camber bolt" was snapped off by accident. We have placed the wheels on the truck and they look awsome. My boy rich has the pictures and I wont see him till wednesday. I really hope Napa or the Dealer has what I need in stock. So far I only had to modify one bracket that was included with the superlift kit and it was the steering stabilzer mounting backet. Just some minor stuff need to be bolted back on and the exhaust modified.

So why was it that you chose this lift over the BDS?

This kit was alot beefer than the BDS Kit and both my other friends have the BDS Kit and the Superlift Kit. Superlifts is a true 6" kit while the BDS was only 5", so I wanted to fit 32's without a problem or tweeking the torsion bars. Both kits are really nice but if I had to chose again I might have went with BDS because there's less items to modify and BDS comes with new control arms too. Plus BDS directions are alot easier to follow and they show actual dimensions of how much to cut instead of guess like the Superlift kit. My buddie Brian who has the BDS kit was really liking the Superlift Kit but was not a fan of the directions.

Let us know how well those 32's fit with the SL kit!
Body lifting too?
It's something I gotta look into, as my local off-road club requires at least 33's

Per superlift I dont need to body lift the truck to fit 32's... But my friends want me to body lift the truck. I'm just going to see how it settles with the 32's on.

 Finally the lift is complete. The truck looks great and I took her for a test drive last night and nothing fell off or grinded.. Now I'm going to load her up on a trailer and take her to my buddies body shop to do a wheel alignment. I also added new pics to the photobucket as well. 6" Superlift Kit, Pro Comp AT tires 32's, 15 x 8 Soft 8 wheels with 4.5" back space, Yukon 4.11 gears, Hypertech Controller. Last is to install the B&M transcooler but that only takes a few minutes to do.
