Before & After thread.

Back when I bought her in high school (stock hieght on 32's, I think I had already installed 4.10's, a detroit in back, and a trutrac up front in this pic):

Right after I installed my first lift (4" springs/ blocks) on 35's (same gears/ axles):

A year or two later (6" springs front, flip + AAL rear, D60, 14bff, 4.56, locked f&r, killed the 700R4 swapped in a TH400, built my first bumper, 37" boggers on 15's):

Almost current (moved shackle hangers up front for better angle, added hyd assist, zero-rates front and rear [1.5" forward, 1.5" back], 39.5 TSLs on recentered H1's with plastic inserts):

As she currently sits on 37" GY MT's (my street tires... the TSL's/ H1's are in the shed, there's a new rear bumper on there but you can't really make it out in this pic):

What a bunch of pic whores we are...
By after I guess I meant where your truck or whatever is now. Mine is by far not finished. but it is quite different than when i started. Its pretty cool to see what people have done. Keep posting guys.
btw MTMike, You win! the first person in the thread to have lowered your truck from how it was when you got it.
Not sure of the prize though..

 

[blazinzuk]

to pic is how it sits now( one tons lockers etc. etc. etc.)

next is same suspension but 38s and 3/4 tons and a little bit more sane

next is how I bought it dead stock, put the 35s on it before I even brought it home

soon to come bumpers and a roll cage(actually started working on them today)

The prize is not tipping over on the trail... or on the road to the trail for that matter
