Before - 2" Suspension and 33x12.50R15s

After - 6" Suspension, 3" PA Body and 38x15.50R16s

I definitely miscalculated the lift on this truck before hand. I originally assumed that it had 4" suspension lift on it. So, when I upgraded the suspension, I assumed I only needed 2" rear block to match the 4" springs for 6" total lift right? Wrong. Now the rear is 2-3" lower then the front. I will fix this soon enough, and I was told by Tough Country that the front will settle down about an inch.

Side Before -
