I just posted some new pictures of my truck on my yahoo website. I have a 2001 4.7L V8, 3" PA Body Lift, 3" Rancho Suspension Lift, 285/75/R16 BFG All Terrains, Flowmaster Dual Exhaust, AIRAID Intake, and Westin Nerf Bars. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks Drew.

bigdawg,
so far I cranked the torsion bars a bit but didn't want to go too high yet because the front was almost as high as the back. I haven't added anything else to the lift yet. I am plannin on getting an add-a-leaf kit for the rear springs then I might crank the t-bars a little more.

How much did you oay for the Rancho suspension lift and did you install it yourself? If so was it hard and did everything fit well? I've already put the 3" Body lift on mine and I'm looking to do a suspension lift next.

The lift was around $1500 with the RSX shocks. i got it at performancelifts.com

http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/RS6560.html

I had my lift installed at the custom exhaust shop that my brother works at. One of the guys there does lifts on the side, so the three of us spent the weekend working on it. Overall, it went well because we had all of the right mechanics tools over there. One piece of advice that you should do is download the lift instructions from the performancelifts site and check them out or show them to the place ahead of time so they know exactly what they will need. This worked out very well for me. As far as the cost of installation, you'd probably get a better idea if you talked to 2THEXRTM or forexfour. Or you can do a search in the forums for their names and Rancho. They both have a lot of great information about their Rancho Lifts.

Hope this helps!
