So I installed my spacers yesterday, also got my headlight, side markers in. I am not sure if I like the lift yet, the CV boots are very close to the lower arms and the upper ball joint, well you all know the story on that.

2" front, 1.5" rear, 285's. They rub the front corners a little so I think I will put the somewhat worn 265's I have on and sell the 285's.

I think it looks good and I would leave the 85's on. But are spacers worth killing your CV's, lower arms and ball joints and a ride so ruff that your fillings will fall out of your teeth just for looks? Don't get me wrong I'm thinking about doing it myself, I'm just not sure weather to go with spacers for a few hundred dollars or a proper lift for a few thousand.

when I sell these tires I think I will have Brandon make me some smaller spacers. I am thinking I should have went with 1.5" in the front and 1" rear.

She does look awesome. Got any shot's of the new angles the components are on? I thought you would have been right with the 2"/1.5" spacer's.

How close is the rear tire to hitting the front edge of the wheel well? It looks tres close!

Funny! I would not settle for a 4.0 while shopping for this truck! It was 4.6 or nothing!

I'm running 1.75"/1.5" spacers. About a 1 inch difference in lift but the angles are a lot better than the 2.25" front.

Ride quality seems to be the same as when I was just running the body lift and these tires.

My front spindles still touch springs a bit at full droop. No problems with that normal daily driving or mild offroading though. I'll solve that either with a limit strap or a set of tubular upper control arms....just one more project on the list
