2" lift Kit H1

Post by dwaxman1 »

Anyone have Before and After photos of their truck with a 2" lift kit installed, also if you have stock tires... that would be cool... just wondering how it will look and if the Tires will look small after the kit was installed.





I am looking and thinking seriously about this but as always I am a bit nervous about moving away from Stock...

I too have considered doing this lift, but with research showing how it is a 20+ hr job makes me cringe.

Mine took the better part of 6 hours with a hoist and all bolts pre soaked. Biggest pain were the tank straps as they kept twisting. If your truck is older I would recommend pb blasting them a few days in advance and then the night before, it will make a huge difference.

Nice Tony....nice





okay Darcy....I will check straps... I am sure they are probably no good..the truck is old.I am sure i have some straps and I have a entire new complete underbody kit that I might look at replacing my old one with as well when it is on the hoist..



6 hours as Tom says... wow.....sounds like a big job, not easy....
