I can't help you but im thinking of the same lift for my 2004 and was wondering if you could post some pictures when you get a chance, as well as any other tips for the install. Thanks in advance

I ended up cutting off 3/8 inch off the ends of the tie rods to make them shorter. Also i do took off the jam nut and just use the sd sleeve as the jam nut.

Yeah I installed a 6" and also had to shorten the tie rod ends to align it. It would have been nice if TC would have mentioned it in the instructions!
Other then that no problems.

Pictures that will show the height, as well as a front end pic to see how wide the truck looks with your tires. Much appreciated.
