I can and it looks good. They are just 1" right? Is it legal to install them on the front, aren't they basically a block? Should have a real nice stance with those wide 35's under there. Definitely noticeable!

yes, it is perfectly legal. technically they are just a very short add-a-leaf, because they bolt into the spring pack.

Yep they bolt in. 1" of lift. Still have some front to rear rake. I'm thinking something was done with the rear springs by a PO. I could probably lower the rear another inch and be close to level. When I got the truck it set low in the back because of a flat bed. When I took the flat bed off the back end went up, a lot!

Yep, I just got an inch of lift. Did not move the axle. Stoked about the ground hawgs. Tyres International has them on special $118 ea regular $192ea. That's for the 14-35/16.5 the 35s for 15" rims are also on special. With shipping it's right at $530 for 4 tires.
