I know you got some pictures by now right.

Maybe they're still trying to get it to align?

J/K man.

ok got it on. allinement went good. drove 75 miles interstate to get new tires put on. it drove straight and very nice ride. got new tires on and it still drives excellent. im not saying run out and buy this kit yet. i know that alot of the problems come after couple thousand miles. Next month im taking it back to the tire shop to have the alinement checked. all i can say for sure at the moment is that i like the look. its in the shop now getting the exhaust tips raised up. this weekend im going to make some gap guards and move the nerf bars up. ill get it all cleaned up and take some better pics. never posted pics so im not sure if this will work

Looks good. I hope it goes good. They told me They redesigned the kit due to problems. So lets hope so.

Looks good, I hope it works out. A couple of things you probably want to check that were issues with this kit and the old one:

One guy had this problem with the new kit:

The input shaft from the diff to the transfer case was pulled forward so the boot on the shaft at the trans case in pulled forward and not covering like it should.

Another said his front end started to wander and tear up his tires after 2 alignments and 4000 miles

And check the UCA's for enough clearance around the coil when the suspension is drooped all the way down. Mine would hit if I jacked the front end up and let it rest on the bump stops.

Also, for the record, my truck did align "within specs" of what the lift called fore, but it still wasn't perfect. It would drive straight, but I was still riding on the outside of my tires. Keep an eye out for that and any other issues like "clunking" noises etc...

Truck looks really good man. Hopefully they fixed all of the issues.

Looks great. Best of luck.

IMO, some new steps and a clean/painted frame would really make it look nice.

constantconstruction · May 25, 2011

Yeah been looking at deezee nxt's. How much should I expect to pay to get frame painted or rhino lines

NickS · May 25, 2011

About $7 dollars a spray can (either a black, or the black rubberized under coating in a can). It is easy to do yourself. And as for the gap guards, I wouldn't worry about the front, and just buy the $100 rear wheel house liners. Much cleaner look.
