Re: Lift Pics
Its good....really stiff at first...but worth the money...don't get blocks for the rear get new springs...double check the shocks they give you I think they gave me the wrong ones...but over all good buy

What are the details on the lift? is it 2" or 2.5" not seeing many 2" kits. Also are those 10" rallys?

Re: Lift Pics
I have a 4" Rough Country all spring lift and it rides like a tank. The rear bounces a lot with the 52" spring. I would recomend getting the longer 56" leafs for the back and moving the rear spring hanger towards the rear 4". A lot of guys do that for a smoother ride. Less arch in the spring means a smoother ride.

Thats the LOOK that I'm after, can you give me some details like what lift brand did u go with and how did it ride?

did the 33x12.50's ever rub with the 2"? would it be worth looking into the 2.5" kits or the 3" or did you feel the 2" was enough?

did you have to do anything besides change the spring packs? like extended brake lines? steering arm drop? was longer shocks a must?

thanks!

Re: Lift Pics
I'd try taking out those front shims, there probably pulling out your caster and thats whats making the truck wander.
