Looks great Knobby, glad you got it finished! I for one will not be buying a lift from Truckin Suspension so will wait for Rancho or TrailMaster if it ever happens. You can say you have a one of kind at least, right?:)

That looks schaweet Knobby!!
I'm glad it all came together finally. I'm getting ready to ditch my Pro-Comp A/T's and put on those MT/R's. The PC's just aren't doing it, the truck feels too loose with them on.

Well New update ;-) Next mod is already on...
NERF BARS!! and I have 0" gap.. infact the Nerfs are right on the body which worries me. I put them on before I took them to get line-xed because I wanted to make sure they fit correctly.. Looks like Truckin-Suspension sent me 2 extra 6"x1/2" bolts which I have no idea what they are suposed to go to, 2 extra brackets and about 10 MILLION extra washers.. All going in the extra parts bin :-) LOL it's getting full as is. I'm taking those to the Line-X place tomorrow before I drop my truck off to get it's bath. Hopefully they can get them out that day (but I doubt it).
I think I found a way to take care of the steering rubbing but I'm going to need to cut & weld again.. I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to do that yet ;-) So it looks like I will be able to keep my stock wheels with 305x70x16's with NO TRIMMING! ;-) sorry.. had to.

I had to fabricate.. or actually Mikes had to re-fab EVERYTHING!! nothing about that lift is the way I bought it.
Ride is ok it's bumpy and choppy mostly because of the mud tires on the road but some because the suspension is stiffer.
BTW I posted new pictures of my Tires on my website.

:-) LOL Blizzard.. ahh actually the funny thing is I still like your truck alot.. Don't know why cuz mines better and all .. ;-) j/k . Seriously though You & Hawkeye have been the 2 trucks that I've looked up to the whole time.
DurtyDog.. I still have some kinks to get worked out I'll have pictures of that though I'm going to take care of it next weekend.
My Nerfs are getting Line-X'd right now as well as my Tool Box. $75 for the Nerfs and $100 for the Box (inside & out).
Well I have to scan in some high quality pics.

hey knobbyman the truck looks great, glad you are back on the road. I just got my truck back from Arizona. They ended up changing some of the parts to make the lift stronger. My alignment is perfect and don't hear any more noises. My truck is going back out to them in June so they can fabricate a shock hoop to be able to get two more shock on each side. Don't know what else they want to do but they said they still have some ideas to improve the lift. Well i am happy with the lift.

I gotta admit, I'm a little envious of the way your truck sits. But not so much that I'd go through what you had to! You've definitely got me beat in the patience and persistance departments!

I'm gonna be the azzhole,gonna be the azzhole!!! Hmmm... $175 for a simple body lift...OR Knobby's nightmare????? Even dpkerns couldn't run 33s on 10s w/o rubbing, and he had the 6½ inch lift from our friends at F&^You Suspension. I certainly admire the will/persistance that dpkerns and knobby have gone thru, but...wholly cheet...........They have had nothing but nightmares w/ F*&You Suspension. I'm Happy as hell for you two that you have driveable trucks..finally, but for the avg. joe like me......ain't no doubt which way I would go.
Just my stoopid drunkin lovin my 3" body lift w/305s Xterrains w/ no trimming or any other hassles opinion. Of course...I'm a cheap AZZ!!!!!

Dpkerns,
Are you the other guy with the TS lift? The one that had all the alignment probs? I saw a truck in an Off-Raod mag, is this yours? The red one with the skid plate and the wide azz stance? If so, I love you truck as well as K mans. But which lift did you have done?
Both of you guys should be comended on your strength and effort. If I had my truck up like that for months, I would have been in jail for most of them after severly beating the manufactures azz. But your trucks are unique and look nice...

hey joe E. yup thats my truck. thanks for the compliment. the stuff that they did to my truck will be in the kits. the ten inch rims are ok for street driving but if you do any off roading the will hit the body. I am going to get the same rim but the eight inch ones. my lift is the 6.5 lift. They have a new guy doig the lifts which is really good the parts looked really good. my rear shackles didn't get powder coated because they didn't get time. I was waiting to drive it home and it was getting late. But they said that when i bring it back out in june they would powder coat them. the new guy Dan wants to fabricate shock hoops in order to get two more shocks on each side. and also has some ideas on a way to improve more things that they didn't get time to do. But the truck drives way way better than it did the first time.
