Got all my parts in. Should get everything done this weekend. New proforge ball joints (upper and lower), marks 2.5 inch lift, Bilstein struts, monroe shocks, New upper control arms, 1.5 wheel spacers, 265/70/17 fearce attitude tires on new mostly black rims. I got this truck in 2004. Only things i had to fix was a new starter, brakes and rotors, driver window motor. A little less than 60,000 miles on it. No dents or dings.:biggrin:

good question. They didnt say anything but if not i can put the tires on. Ill have the spacers on before i go there too. should go get them and put them on the ss for some pics lol:rotfl:
 
Are your rims 6X5 or 6X5.5 ? If they're 6X5 you could see if they'll fit without spacers.

+35 They still sit in the wheelwell with the spacers. Got about 3/4" from the upper ball joint. Nice fit and a thanks to markmc for his info.:smile:
 
2.5 lift, struts, shocks, balljoints, fliped new upper a arms all on. tires+wheels alinment tomarrow. Ill get some pics then. First front side was a pain after that the rest was a breeze. We took the rear shocks off and used a spring compressor, through on the spacers and done.:thumbsup:
