    Installed the 1.5" lift kit myself, added KO2 225/65/17 and 1" spacers. After alignment was done, it handles great. IMG_0773.JPG

    Nice! That's something I'd love to do. How challenging was it? Did you do it all on our own or did you get some help?

    I had some help from my brother, pretty much just to use a pry bar to give extra space while I inserted the spacers between the cross member where the rear differential is located. Other than that it was simple just tedious when it came to adding the lower control arm brackets. Before you do this step make sure that the skit plate are removed to make this easier. Once everything is done just take it to get an alignment. Might need some camber kits to align it.

    One more thing, you'll need to buy the E-20 Torx socket separate. It doesn't come in a set for some reason. But you can get that in NAPA Autoparts for about $13 and your local autozone should have the 23mm socket, for the rest of the E-Torx sockets you can get a set at a Harbor Freight, for about $15 a set. They don't carry E-20 torx

    Many thanks bro. I will definitely keep this info. Won't be doing to the lift until my factory tires wear out and I do both lift and tire upgrade. By the way, your Renny looks great [emoji1360]

    You should definitely go with the KO2. Smooth ride, I also have KO2s on my f-350. Couldn't have chosen a better tire
