Well I finally got my lift finished at 11pm last night. Got alignment today and could not be happier. Still gotta pull mudflaps off but im really happy with the fabtech spindle lift. Tires are 31" BFG M/Ts, truck handles them pretty good for a 4 banger and 3.73s. Next project is to hunt down an 8.8 rear and swap it in. Here's a few pics, crappy camera phone. This weekend I was gonna go fishing and will get some better pics of the truck!

 

Looks good! What other plans do you have?

 

Well besides swap in a 8.8 I dont know? Go bigger! I'll prob sell it and get a 4x4 ranger and lift it big. I'm a poor college kid though so we'll see. It's fun just working on em.

 

looks great man really reminds me of my truck back in the day with steelies, i agree sell it.. dont put tons and tons and tons of $ into like i did lol.. even tho i still love it

 

Looks good.

 

im poor and in college too! but somehow I usually have money to work on the truck

 

Looks wicked!

 

what lift is that?

and how is that 2.3 handling those 31's? What gears do you have in the back?

 

Washed it and took off bug guard.

 

Performance wise all I have is kn intake and flowmaster 40 on it. I am very suprised how well it does, it's honestly not that much more sluggish then when it was stock. It has 3.73s in rear. Im starting the search for an 8.8 with 4.10s to swap in the rear.

 

looks awesome!

 

wow looks real good

 

looks good man..

 

looks way better bro... i agree dont spend a ton on it.. especially if you are going to wheel it..but its always nice to play around with what you got! good work

 

i can tell you something right now tho... ditch the steelies as fast as you can... personal experience they weigh a fouackakck load.... my 32's and steelies weighed 85lb i beleave it was... my alum wheels and 32's weigh 62lb.... thats alot of rotating mass... and my MPG jumped up a little too, and thats coming from a 4cyl big tire owner

 

Ya I honestly shoudle have bought some nice alum wheel. Ill have to weigh my tire/wheel but I know their heavy. Right now my concern is finding an 8.8 to swap and then maybe ill think about new wheels.

 

time for some cosmetic mods
Ditch the flag mirrors
Get yourself 01-03 color matched EDGE front and rear bumpers
ditch the mudflaps

Lift and tires look great BTW

 

HA thats funny I was just thinking I need to upgrade mirrors, they vibrate bad when going on the highway. Im gonna do axle swap first then look for new bumpers and all that good stuff. Thanks man
