I found a 4.5 inch lift on Craigslist for 300 bucks from rough country it was brand new never put on, thought it was a good bargin so went and got it and slap her on.
old lift kit
taking off the control arms
shocks
taking both springs off now
see the difference in height
took of just about everything, but steering system
new coils on
got the shocks on(put everything back together)
Now time for the back springs.
kind of started already .....maybe do the rest tomorrow...
cutting the leaf clamps
and the finished product
no joke on a before and after
thanks for looking
