I'm having the same problem. But I am at work and can't do anything about it until I get home. I have checked all of the fuses already and checked the bulbs. But who knows I might have missed a fuse. Wish me luck.

Question: I bought Bilsteins and I am debating on installing them myself or paying $75 an hour for someone that can do it in 2 hours.... Thats a lot of money, but my options are limited. T...

I'm had one hell of a time drilling through the steel plates to modify the tow hitch. I have been using cutting and tapping oil with a 1/2 inch cobalt drill bit for hard metals. The damn holes take 25 minutes each. If I want to do my step bars, I hope that I can do it with less effort.... Am I doing...

yeah, if i lift the step bars it will also hide the frame more. I was actually hoping that the lift kit provided new brackets, but that was wishful thinking.... I'll start looking for the post.

Thanks adrenalnjunky for your help too!!!!

This post is not nearly as exciting as putting this kit on!!! The damn fuel filler extension hose they provided is the same size as the old one, so I can't fit it over the old one. Have to get a new hose and then I will be about 95% done. This is probably the longest lift kit installation in this si...

Re: Starting my BDS Suspension 2" Lift Kit Installation

You'll need blocks of wood, PB Blaster or Sea Foam Deep Creep, safety glasses, four floor jackes and a sense of humor F9K9 thanks for all of your help. Another question, Can I use just one floor jack with four jack stands and one bottle jack. That was my original plan. You say to get four floor jac...
