The only thing I am trying to get done before I get home is my body lift as soon as my buddy gets it, i got o fork over 650 to get it don't cause I don't know anyone to really help do it in the states right now. But as for whats it is......

Suspension lift is a secret. trying something new having a buddy test some things out on mine right now to see what might work and what might now work lol.

I am getting MarksMc's body lift and that is what I am tring to find some one to help me out with while I am over here lol

As for the G80 no but I will be getting a locker for it. I need to have it locked in the rear and I will get the front later on down the road.



Wait, wut? :scratch:

You're paying $650 for someone to put your body lift on? Shit, where are you, AZ? I bet there's folks in CA who'd drive to you and install it for that money. If you were closer to WA state I know I would.

As far as suspension lift... My advice is don't try to reinvent the wheel. The brain trust here has pretty much explored the outer limits of our IFS capability, and we have at least one person who's already getting parts together for a SAS.

Mark's body lift: Check.
Rear Locker: No-Slip or budget for setting up the rear gears again...and you might as well upgrade while you're at it.

Well if there was some one close that would want to do it for maybe a little cheaper then 650 i might be able to work something out lol

While I was up there, I took a few shots of the truck.

Nah I had all my camera stuff in the back, was going back and forth between lenses at one point, so I had just left the tailgate up.
