well got the truck back. now has the suspension and steering all repaired and is now 4 lift lift instead of the homemade 6 in. Has new ball jonts, new bearings, springs and correct ubolts, new steering gear box. drives great, still have to get aligned and some better looking wheels.

Re: New Pics

Thinking about having them powder coated. If they were shiny, might look better

Re: New Pics

Can I ask how much it was total for the lift (parts and labor)? I've been thinking about one for my K30 but can't make up my mind....

Re: New Pics

Paint the wheels white and get some fender trim, possibly some bed rail covers. That would look sharp.

Re: New Pics

Traded a 4 wheelers to this guy, he had all the parts, blocks for the rear, front springs, i had to buy ball joints and bearings but other than that, it was about a 800 dollar 4 wheeler but man it there a difference.

am not a fan of white wheels but making them shiny black might be an idea

Re: New Pics

Shiny black or polished aluminum wheels would really set this off. Good looking truck. Time for a winch now
