Kileen is between us, Houston and San Angelo. Seems like a couple hour drive for everyone

It's a shame that's a 97 only color.

Get the 2" body lift lol. Avoid the rough country lift kit

Might happen. I want to get some new Moog coils. I think mine are sagging. My coils I have now came out of my old 91 because I cut my coils when I lowered it.

It's a shame that's a 97 only color.

No joke. I love it. There was a truck local this color for sale a while back but the kid destroyed it.

Tristan's truck is badass. If he'd make the changes I've mentioned numerous times, it'd look a lot better I wish Kyle had his truck.

Dang. I would do unspeakable things to see Tristan's truck in person.

That truck is one of the reasons I lifted mine so high!

Gong to the shop Monday. Tried installing the lift. Can't get the springs to seat in the control arms, shock bolt sheared off and I had to grind and drill it out so it might need a new LCA, and it sounds like my tires are rubbing at about half a turn each way but the tires are no where close to touching anything. I'm content with the time, money and effort I put into it but I just don't have it in me to take it all apart and try to fix it. I don't have the right tools to get it done right. Working in the driveway on jackstands in 30 degree weather in Texas just makes shlt miserable. Hopefully I'll have it back in about a week

Somtimes it's worth it just to pay someone imo. Can't wait to see it!

Well, the important this is you tried. You can feel good about that. I get frustrated about these trucks that the owner pays shops to do everything to them. They just write a check. Make and attempt and if it doesn't work out, then take it to a shop. Which is sort of ironic since I make a lot of money installing leveling kits in new truck, LOL!

It looks good height wise. Hope they get it back to you soon!

Me too guys. I want to drive the damn thing again. I'm in a silver 2000 Ford Taurus lol

Sane here I spent two days trying to time my truck and get valves set. Couldn't get it. I have up when it ran on four cylinders and was barely strong enough to limp itself on a trailer in four low and my foot buried in the throttle. Had it back a day later firing on all 8 like a top. Gave me the mental strength I needed to diagnose the ICM failure a week later that acted like total valvetrain failure.
