Looking good! Just get some meaty tires on there and you will be set.

That's awesome! Did you have a shop do it or did you? How much money did you put into it if you don't mind me asking? How does it ride compared to stock? That's exactly what I wanted to do to my rig but I shyed away from it

Looks good that is what I am planning on. Where did you get the 2" shackles cause Jigg's website is out of them. Also what size tires are you running on there? Looks awesome I like the wheels too.

Actually Jigg has some shackles back in. I think hes got the 1.25 and 1.5 inch shackles in. For the 2 inch ones hit up ebay, wait till jigg makes more, or lemme get some steel stock and ill make ya a set (just gotta figure out how much they cost to make).

Thanks All.

-I found the body lift for $50 (Craigslist ROCKS!)
-The shackles were bought at 4 Wheel Parts $80 with shipping and tax.
-The rims were $100 ( Craigslist again...)

Tires arent in the greates condition they have about 10,000 miles left on them. I really like the tires when they have tread. Too bad they arent made anymore... I did all the work myself. The shop wanted $200 to install my BL!! It took me about a month to do all this, because its still my daily.

Tire size is 31 x 10.5 x 15 they are a little smaller that my spare 31 in tire.

I cant tell a difference in the ride quality. I have stiff shocks on here so the t-bar crank is not noticable.

This is a picture of stock:

What a difference huh? its nice to get it off the ground.  the tires rubbed on the inside of the front fender at full lock with only the BL. once I put the shackles and t-bar crank there was no problems with rubbing.

Im ready for the rain this weekend!!!

Yeah its a rare color that goes real good with black (factory tint, new wheels, and frame). Plus it probably doesn't show everyday dirt and pollen too bad when you want it clean, but definately ready to get all dirty too.

Looks great. I wanted to go with the 2" shackles, but all I could find were the 1.5" ohh well. For some reason your still looks a lot higher than mine, or is it just me?
