anyway..
question bout the mini lifts from prg..
how easy is the install tools and time and stuff
does it affect mpg just doing a lift
im assuming u have to get an alignment done after

thanks ahead for the answers

yeh mine was from daystar & auto zone ( their kit has the wrong u bolts so you'll need to had some pre-fab'd, that cost me $35 ). I also have 11" travel bilsteins in the back. It really wont change your mpg unless u upgrade to a bigger size tyre. After about 6 hours for me because of my lol nice jump id say i had a really a good time install with everything else just that side.

I'd say about 1 1/2 hours for the rear and remember boot at the bottom not the top. Also the front about an hour, the easy way if ur strong is to take the spindle off it's hang's and zip tye it to the frame, this will give u enough le-way so as top push the shock out but still have it attached to the LCA. Now if u had some rattle damaged like mine did do this and have a flat-head screw driver to push down on the shock then yank it out. Also use a metal sledge hammer and not a rubber one. Those things suck!!! and dont worry a couple scraps isnt visible and u'll save time and fingers.


yeh alignment will be off considerably so do have it checked out. Also your leaves will be at a straight arch and will make noises. I woultdn't worry because this will go down as time and the leaves get used to the block and settle. Also have those botls tightened after the first 500 miles and every 500-1000 after that as they tend to loosen,other than that coil bucket contact will accure when ur suspension droops and not as much when u flex-upward on the front suspension. So dont go hardcore-pimpin when u have this kit on ohterwise may have some issue's.

are back bumpers are crap too, $1717 for it to be replaced and get the dent out of the rear quarter panel of the bed.
