I think it came out great not to mention the truck handles and rides better now it did when it was stock.

Looks very good. Words don't really do it justice. Can't wait to lift mine one day...

Looking Good, I went to FabTech site looking for info kinda left empty minded.
They did not have any info on the nerf bars & the listing on the lift kit only showed the 3 gens with 5" lift.
Who did you order from? If not too much trouble.

I had Randy's Offroad in Azusa California do the install, he's had his trucks in ton's of write up's. Great guy, extremely reasonable, and does great work. I paid just over $4100 for the rims, tires, lift, and nerf bars out the door which is a great deal. The pictures really don't do the truck justice, and the ride is perfect, but we'll see after 30K miles. I ran into a guy with a Skyjacker and he was not happy...

I think fabtech puts moer R&D into their lifts than any other one on the market today. I had a BDS lift on my chevy and liked it but it was like everyone else's designs. Fabtech comes out with new products all the time and is an innovator in the market. I cant lift my dodge because it barely fits in the garage at work right now. really pisses me off.

The truck looks great! I agree with Crimedog.... that is just about right for a 3rd Gen. Not too tall for the 35s, but it doesn't look like a low rider either.
