On Saturday at 11:00 PM The Purple Dak was offically lifted a total of 6" with a 3" PA Body lift and a 3" Doestch Lift. And 32" MudKing tires on Eagle 058 series with out a hint of rubbing. Me and two other guys did this lift starting around 12:30PM Saturday. Let me just tell you, this lift is nice, but the rust was a pain in the a$$ to fight through. But the end product is very nice. Take a look on my Cardomain: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/604775

Congratulations, it looks so much better and totally different than when you first got it. Good improvement. Makes you appreciate it even more when you do the lift yourself, even though it was alot of work.

Pray that your bolts and nut come off easy. that was the hardest part. The rear leafs were freaking easy. We just un bolted the u-bolts, lifted the rear axle off the springs and added the add-a-leaf like that. didn't have to mess with taking the leafs off all the way. Air wrenches are a life saver, along with torches. The lower ball joints weren't to bad, gettin the rivets ground away sucked. I got a lifetime alignment after I did it b/c I heard to keep the alignment sucks. Other than that, not really anything we were not prepared for. Remember prepare for the worst.

I can understand that, cause i got 32x115x15 and mine rub even after 3"bl and 4" suspension lift,they dont rub on the street but any kind of articulation offroad and the tires rub a little up front but pretty bad in the rear,keep in mind my truck is pretty heavy though new leafs and a rear anti-sway bar and i should be money.
