I installed the Full Force Suspension 7" lift (2wd) today. Spindles, upper A-arms, springs, shocks, blocks, snubbers.

Damn that was alot of work! I figured it would be a much simpler bolt-in/replace job. Took me 10 hours to install by myself, and I wouldn't consider this a driveway job unless you have a ton of 1/2-drive impact sockets (metric 10mm-24mm, deep and standard), a prybar, a sawsall cutter, torque wrench, two huge floor jacks, jackstands, etc...

it was NOT fun to install, especially without instructions.

Everything fits perfect, but damn its a BITCH to get all those parts to line up with that spring load up front. Not a job I'd like to do again anytime soon.

The ride is actually very smooth, and these Nitto Terra-Grappler 33" tires are surprisingly quiet on the highway. I'm glad for that, I didn't want a loud set of all-terrains.

Before you sleep the day away, you need to post up a few pictures.

 

When you first got out of the truck did you fall out? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Makes it easier to change the oil. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Looks good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

 

Looks good!

I like the look of the 18s too!

Tony, the truck looks good.

That actually looks nice.

Time for some 4.10s yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

No gears yet. The truck is still plenty fast for me, I had a 4-cylinder Amigo as a work truck before this one. If I want more performance I'll just drive the Formula <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I like it, it looks mean!
