thanks man....  i HOPE someday to have it as nice as yours...  :) 

I was upset with myself that I could not get the entire lift done myself... including the arm....  but you have to know your limits and my friend said bring it down...  I will do the rest for you..   so Friday it's happening...

BTW....  i was surprised that it still steers the same even with the severe angle of the tie rod connected to the stock arm....   hmmmm  ..... 

anyway thanks again....

Very Nice. If it wasn't for friends, I wouldn't have even bought my truck, because I have needed there help so many times it's ridiculous.

Thanks Guys....  OK here is the update:

I gave the truck to my friend who is a mechanic on Friday.  He did the steering arm for me, upper and lower ball joints, and tie rod that connects to the steering arm itself. 
Aligned the truck and pretty much went over everything I did...  after working on newer vehicles all the time, he loved working on mine and actually had it until Saturday afternoon just tinkering with it making sure everything was good.   Also he said everyone who came in loved the truck and began talking about it...  I guess I never realized how nice it is...  I love these trucks and I will have mine for a long time coming.  Of course it still needs some work... but then again it's all part of it...

OK now onto the fun...  Yesterday I put on the Dual SS and took a few pics.   Oh and my wife said now I need bigger tires  :)   35's will be my next set once these are gone...
Enjoy:





Sorry for all the grease/grime etc.  Now at my leisure I am going to try and clean everything and put on a nice coat of chassis paint  etc.   

Thanks
Mike

Its looking great. Gotta love when the wife says it needs bigger tires. My wife was so mad when I took my 44"s off she tells me all the time to put bigger ones back on it.

Nice. That picture deserves a spot in the calendar.
