Looks good. Man I wish my truck looked as good as yours :lol:
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

ah cheers mate, it all takes a bit of time really. Had her for over a year now, and the difference between then and now is pretty huge!

Still got a fair amount of body work to do before I go back to uni next month grr :evil:

Now that you've fitted AAL have you changed the shocks? My springs aren't dead yet but are getting flat. Ive just lashed out on standard length shocks (from dave). And dont want to do AAL if it lifts it too far. I think if i do go AAL it'll maybe go 1" over standard.

Cheers

I've just kept the original shocks, and don't think I'll be changing them in a hurry either, I have noticed the AAL making the suspension a lot stiffer, but after time I'm sure this will change.

Also with AAL you can remove your smallest leaf and replace it with the AAL for a smaller lift, or just add it to the spring pack for the full lift, so you can chop and change as you please.

I feel a call to dave needs to be made. Think he's my number one supplier now.

I may have to make some money first.

Cheers bud.
