Thanks! Yeah, Brian's a great guy. He definitely knows his stuff and is excellent on price!

WOOHOO Thanks guys! We're gonna have to find some mud around the shop to break in those tires Mitch!

Uhhhhh... CHYEAH!!! lol

Ha. I was there picking up one car, and dropping off another and saw your car in front. I was trying to figure out why Brian's truck looked so different....

Hah! You should have said sumthin!

Glad to hear ASI and Brian are doing the install!

Yea man, I know ole Betty is in good hands!

The deed is done, and I love it!!! pics will come tomorrow (if I can figure out how to post em lol)!

Before (right), sitting next to Brians' beast:


New shoes - Federal Couragia 285/70/17's:


After install:




Cleaned up a little:


Removed mud flaps for clearance and painted the handles/rear emblems:


As you can see, I still have to order the fifth tire... this one just doesn't look quite right!


Thanks again to Brian at ASI in Charlotte! He's now got a new customer (for all my future ideas hehe) and referal to others!

Thanks for the quick pics !

Looks GREAT!!! Go Brian and ASI!!!!

Did you do the BMC? If not, any rubbing with the Federals? Did removing the mudflaps make a difference?

Thanks man! There was some pretty severe rubbing at first, but luckily it was mainly the mud flaps causing the problem. I can't afford the BMC just yet, but will have it done eventually. The only rubbing now is just when I back up at a hard angle (which can be avoided if I am not in a rush)... other than that, pretty much everything clears!

Just curious....what lift did you go with and did you replace the stock UCAs?

I went with the 3" Rough Country lift, but haven't replaced the UCAs just yet... Gotta compromise with the wife! I've got a whole shopping list including those, but it'll all come in time

I heard the UCAs help with the rub. I know a few guys running the LR UCAs and they have no rub. I am in the process of gathering my lift components for an end of year install. I have the Toytec Front Coilovers and just got the Light Racing UCAs. Next up the Toytec SuperFlex rear springs and either the Bilstein, or OME rear shocks. I am also going to purchase a set of Toy Outfitter/HFS rear lower links in July. So, I am slowly gathering the pieces........

Oh, and it was the RC level 2 kit with the front spacers and rear shocks/springs (in case you were wondering)

Wow that's a nice setup! Can't wait to see how it turns out for ya!

Sweet!!! Well congrats, that is a nice setup as well!! You will have to give us a review in a few months! I am not sure, but I think CarolinaCruiser15 (Rolando) has that same setup... I THINK.....

Yea I'll definitely keep yall posted! Hopefully I get some better pictures (off the pavement) soon too haha

it does look great....congrats!

looks sweet. Nice to see another Yankee fan out there too....

Preciate it fellas! And yes, I guess you could consider me a southern Yankee
