so i bought a rough country 6 inch lift kit and got used to it too quickly and it didnt look tall enough. so i called around and rough country said that i cannot put a coil spacer on the kit and align it. well i went ahead and put a 1.5 coil spacer on top of the 6 inch lift kit and got it fully aligned no problem. a full 10.5 of wheel gap. also i added 1.5 inch wheel spacers to the truck as well, some minor trimming and it was all good!!

now i have a 7.5 inch lift on 35s

after the coil spacers and the wheel spacers (i didnt get to do the 4 inch rear block yet so its rocking a cali lean a little bit)

As long as it's safe, why not? How's your gas mileage now? And where do I get the receiver hitch for the front bumper???

Auto anything has it from a company called curt it's a very easy install. And gas mileage is relatively the same honestly lol

Looks good! How do you like the RC lift kit? I'm looking into getting their 5" kit soon.

I like the kit a lot it's very reasonable price for what it is. The only issue I'm having is the sway bar endlinks hitting my inner tierods when I turn. All I need to do is switch the direction of the bolt... I'm just lazy lol

Very nice looking truck! I like the hitch in the front, was contemplating doing that to mine. What tires are you running?

Just realized I repeated myself... lol I could've sworn I stated that already but it's all good. I got the hitch so I can run a d ring in the front. Still need to get the d ring though lol
