The Dog is my German Shephard Gustav. Def. prettier than ANY german shephard i have seen in germany..

The guy standing next to her is my step dad Paul. He is the guy that made all this happen. He is 6'4.. so kinda showes how tall shes sitten..

The small things i mentioned are: Front shocks(should be in by tuesday), driveshaft and some bracket for the rear.. thats it.. all he has to do after that is take her down and get the rear gears put in..

thanks Bro, yeah there 35's. My next huge decision is wheather or not to put the BL on or just trim the fenders and put bushwackers on.. I already have the body lift.. Its just I dont know how to deal with all the ods and ends that come with putting it on such as the gap with the bumbers.. and relocating the tow hooks and stuff...

but shes coming out better than i had ever dreamed..

Superlift is a solid kit. you might run into problems with the swaybar links, but thats an easy fix.

I would do the body lift if I were you!

thanks for the advice! Its really hard for me to visualize how high she is sittin even with the pick of my step dad standing next to her. I havnt seen the truck or him in a year lol.. im gunna ask him to take a pic of her next to the van or his truck so i can maybe see it better lol... he says its sitting pretty high but i dont know how high that is lol

your truck looks sick..... I think you should go with the body lift also if you already have it. its not that much more work.

Truck looks good, really like the black and white theme.

I say do the body lift. The problems that I see with doing it are the exhaust hanging down, tow hooks, and the brush guard.

Love the black and white theme looks great I would hold off on the BL and see how you like it first when you get back. You can always add it later with no problems ya know. Love the rig though man
