She's going to be so pissed when she finds out.................... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> J/K. Its nothing to major but I think it turned out really well. I used OME 912's in the rear, no spacers. And got about 2 1/2" . Then cranked the front up to about an inch lower then the rear, to give it alittle rake <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. And it rides so much better too!!! The vx springs were SO MUCH easier to get in and out than a rodeo!!!!! It only took about 20min to lift the rear total! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I did a ball joint flip in the front, but also no spacer. Anyway here's some pics... The first pic is before the lift... ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_417_full.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_418_full.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_420_full.jpg) This is just after the rear springs were installed. ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_421_full.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_419_full.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/424000-424999/424221_422_full.jpg)

Yep, looks good, but a little funny with the (relatively) low profile tires. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

She's going to be so pissed when she finds out.................... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> J/K. just in case if she will NOT notice, I suggest some more visible for a lady mods: like, tube doors <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> she will definitely notice <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I can drop my truck off if you are running out of mods on yours <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> You can put the rest of my lift on and "try" your tires on it. Then you can finish the bumper and make a winch mount for it. Man, the options are endless on my basically stock troop.

I test fit a pair of 33s and without major front wheelwell surgery they will not fit (I have the same lift). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> The only way you will get 35s to fit is with a 3 inch body lift on top of the suspoension lift. But then the axle shaft will not be to happy for too long! SAS is the answer!
