    2nd Gen 3" Body lift COMPLETE

    How did the steering linkage go, no problems there with it being too extended? How did you actually lift the body once it was off the frame?

    has anyone installed a body lift

    That looks AMAZING!!!! What can you tell me about how to do this? Which kit, and what are some things you ran into that were problematic? I WANT THIS!

    I sincerely hope you're serious. I'd love to see this done and even better with a write-up.

    315/70/17 Fit?

    @MissileMech: Looking good buddy! How is the Expy handling with the tires sticking out that far? Just curious because I almost got some wheels that would have pushed my tires out further, which is a look that I like, but ran into some info about "scrub radius". Supposedly too much or too little...

    315/70/17 Fit?

    Okay, the tires arrived today. I'm so pumped to get these on. I have to say that for a re-tread, these things look gorgeous. We'll see how they balance out though. I'll be doing the install on Dec. 20 or 21, will post before and after photos. For now here are some photos of the tires, and...

    Thanks man! Too funny though, because I just purchased my lug nuts from them yesterday. They seem like a good seller.

    Looks great! I will have pictures up of my project too. My tires are shipping today and my suspension pieces will be here Wednesday. I wonder what I'll be up to this weekend?! Would you mind sharing your source for the spacers? Just in case I end up needing them.

    315/70/17 Fit?

    Oh man, that doesn't sound nice. I see that you have the Ranchos on your expy. I'm hoping that by running the ReadyLift spacers I have which are 3/2 (Front / Rear, respectively) I will be able to squeeze these tires in there like DetroitDarin has done. If not, then this is going to suck bad.

    The trigger hath been pulleth'd! Treadwright ran an irresistible Black Friday deal, free shipping on all tires, any size. So I'm going with the 315/70/17 Guard Dogs with Kedge Grip. Go big or go home I guess LOL. Link to tires for those interested: Treadwright Guard Dogs 315/70/17...

    Anti-Sway Bar

    Eibach is a reputable company, and so is Hellwig. I am sure that Eibach stopped production due to lack of sales. I don't think with the amount of great products Eibach turns out, that they would have botched a simple sway bar. Also Eibach wouldn't be the first company I've heard of discontinuing...

    Insurance Company Dis! (Humor)

    A little over $200 sounds about right. I know when I had my 2010 F-150, CA registration was about equivalent to one monthly payment on the truck. If I remember correctly a little over or under $600 :pp:

    Insurance Company Dis! (Humor)

    I'm originally from CA. Out there I would pay in excess of $250 (at least) for registration. It's completely out of control.

    Insurance Company Dis! (Humor)

    This is how State Farm characterizes my "truck". I've always called it my truck, but I guess I am just trying to cover up the fact that I drive a "Sport Wagon". The text below is straight off of my insurance card. WTF, ego smashed... Effective Date Nov-21-2014 Expiration Date May-14-2015...
