2wd coil truck lifted, wow it's up there

Ok, I've been running 3/4T coils front and rear. the rears had a 3" spacer on the frame side. The fronts were just stock 3/4T. I did a whole front end replacement about 6mo ago. I bought some front coil spacers and some taller 1/2t rear springs off the board here sometime back and they were just sitting in the shop. I did the rears and got 3 inches from stock with a much better ride. Then I did the fronts, there a bear, stock 1/2T springs with a 1 1/4 lift plate made for these lower arms. I had to pull the upper bump stops off, those need to be cut to around 3/4". I set it back down and ended up with 3 1/2 inches on the front. Don't ask me to do the math, I can't figure it out. The ball joint look good, there flat and the whole thing seems ok. Great ride out of it and it sits just about level. Pleanty of room for 33's but I think I"ll go with 32's. I'll get some pics later for all to see. P.S. Thanks to the guys I got the plates and springs from.
