Replaced, feels a thousand pounds lighter.

Deavers should be a quick install, easier the the spacers up front. Ensure you get all the leaves oriented long side to the front.

got one side done, you are right Miner...4 c-clamps and 2 jacks make this a breeze. I read all kinds of stuff about cursing and swearing, using ratcheting straps, stripped bolts, wounds, and crying. (look I just went and cursed myself)

all done, looks like a proper 4x4 now. Very happy with end result. Front needs camber fixed.

Blacked out my front grill chrome/badge with plastidip. Not sure if I'm digging the black badge but like the grill much more this way.Image

RELIC - what leveling kit u get? Looks amazing. Any alignment issues (can dealer still do alignment, or does it require a shop that deals with lifted trucks?)

thanks guys http://www.prgproducts.com/shop/product/prg-2xe11-mk/ and longer Bilsteins for back. I can tell the camber has gone a bit positive on the front, gotta get camber bolts from Greg (he forgot to ship them). I'll just get local shop to do it, thinking -1.

Picked up the passenger side manifold from APC. Now I get to figure out how to put the thing on.. or better yet how to even access the cracked one! LOL

I believe my camber bolts are still in their original position after 3.5 inches of lift. The camber looks a little out but is still well within spec.

Looks good. I am interested to see how long it lasts vs the other options we've seen before.

My next question is whether or not you can source the Heim's locally instead of having to get replacements through AC.

And there is a reason they call this the "KING KONG" steering system... It is BEEFY!

Got a screw in one of my duratracs while I was in little Italy. Limped it to the CT near my grandmothers house in Gloucester. Thank god for CT tire warranty, free repair!
