PRG Leveling kit installed...PICS

Finished my PRG install a few days ago. I highly recommend an professional align the front. I had a hell of a time seperating the spindle from the ball joint, but after talking to a few guys here they said to hit the spindle hard a few times, that worked. I love the new look and feel. Here are my pics.

Is that a Titan or a pony car?

Where'd you get the Nissan horsey sticker? I haven't seen that one before.

Looks great dude! That pinstripe catches the "level" eye too.

That is the Stallion Edition Titan. Comes with special badging, pin stripes, and leveling kit. Each stallion badge adds one HP.

By the way, nice before and after pics. Pre-Runner Greg should use them for marketing.

The sticker came on it. Our dealer is named Thoroughbred Nissan, so I guess they stick a pony on there, it does seem to make it faster by 2 HP (one one each side).

To anyone else with this poblem, try this: get yourself a 3" 2-jaw puller (I picked one up for $3 from harbor freight). Remove the ball joint nut. Hook the puller arms onto the spindle, taking care that they don't contact the boot. Your puller will be upside down, with the arms coming up around the spindle, and the screw is underneath the joint. Set the screw of the puller on the end of the balljoint "bolt", and tighten just a little bit. You don't need much, just enough to put some tension on the joint. Now you really can "tap" the spindle with a hammer and the joint comes right apart.
I've put PRG kits on two trucks. The first one took me about an hour of exhausting work to get one spindle apart, and about 30 minutes on the other. I wasn't too keen on marring up my spindle with hammer blows. I tried a 3-jaw puller, but it just won't fit- don't even bother. I got the idea for the 2-jaw puller and bought one before I did my friend's truck. Total time for both spindles = 3 minutes.
