well the back bracket wont be a problem to move up at all, the front one on the other hand will require some work, especially the drivers side, seams as tho theres a huge ass friggin gas tank right there! i had the 235's on mine for the whole time i had it, i sold it and bought the 2002 superduty i have now, i am building a 4 link "air bar" type system for it now, fact i just got the super pivots from suicidedoors friday, so soon i will have some pictures up as i build it. I am doing this in the evenings and weekends so it will take some time but i am sure it will be worth it in the long run. I used the stock shocks on the front and some bilsteins on the back, i have a set of the ones i used here that i am not using so i can measure them for you, there just 2 inches shorter then stock. i got my pinon shims from the local off road fab shop, if you run into trouble findin some by you let me know i can ship a couple to ya, as far as the trans mount yea just drill a couple holes in a 1/2" thick piece of steel and you'll be good to go. i see yer in Va. you might contact Ricky at suicidedoors, there in indaina i am sure he can help you as well, i have got great service from them and there product seams to be top notch, not only that but he sounds like a real great guy!

Thanks for the help here shpaint1. I emailed DJM today about what all I needed because I bought the kit off the Internet from a guy. They now have emailed me back & told me this kit won't work on my truck! Last week before I ordered the kit they told me everything was right.The kit might have everything in it but I just want to make sure! So I'm going to just wait till it gets here & see what all I need. So far I haven't been impressed with there Tech dept. I guess thats what you get when you buy the kit from someone else & not them. Post some pic of your ride as you do it. I'm going to post some pics as I do mine. I have pics of it when I bought it & it's pretty rough. I'm going to take some of it now as well.
