Really looks good, how does it feel with the 2.8" lift.

Sweet lookin truck.

looks good. Are those stock tires? That's the only downside IMO to te 20" wheels. I went 295/60s and think I should have gone 295/65s. My next set might be 325/60s if I run spacers - I really like the wheels that come on the Black Truck editions.

Just out of curiosity, what does the rear spacer do as far as the height? Does it level it front to rear? Were you able to buy this as a kit from TGC?

Looks good man, black is defnitely my favorite.

Ride is just a little firmer than stock. My wife was suprise do at how nice it still is. It gets a few comments everyday asking how it was done, looks cool.. I wanted to get as high as I could, without having to cut or weld for a big lift, it's a lease and I can put it all back. I wanted to keep some rake so I put the 3/4" rear spacer, it still has a little rake. TopGunCustomz is where I bought the spacers, they offer them in steel or poly. From what I could get from reviews the steel can make some noise, so I went with poly. I will be putting Cooper STT Pro tires on in either a 295/60r20 with a 1/4" wheel spacer or a full 35" and rims. Gotta wait till next spring, winter is here in the U.P. I bought the Bilstein shocks at 4wheelparts, great price and fast shipping. I went back and forth on 2.1 or 2.8 for the front shock setting. I'm very happy I went 2.8"

You don't have any looseness or clunks in your front end at all under any road conditions???? I do with spacers. I'm hoping you don't. Is there any way you could (or anyone else) measure from the top of the front wheel well to the center of the hub. I have strut spacers and will be switching to bils and I want to compair what I have for that measurement because I love the lift the spacers gave me but not the ride. I want to know where to set my bils. I don't want to take them off if I guess wrong with the 2.1 or 2.8 to match the look I have now.

Here is a pic from the ground up at 2.1

Also, side view with factory 20's. Have a 2 inch poly spacer in the rear as well

Thank for the info but I have a 2.5 spacer. Who knows how that compares to a 2.1 or 2.8 bil. The problem is that I already have 35's so a measurement from the ground isn't the same. From the center of the hub to the wheel well will take the tires out or the mix. I want to match the height I have now but with bils. So I'm trying to figure out whether to put them at 2.1 or 2.8 to match the current height so I don't have to take them off and adjust.

I'm guessing you set all four shock to 2.8 then added a spacer in the rear for the rake?

 

[FISH ON]

Nope

 

[bigolayne]

I'll take some tomorrow for you from the center. Hopefully that will help you out.

I'll measure the hub to fender lip in the morning. No noises, vibrations, weirdness... I'm loving the 2.8" setting. If I didn't have rear spacers in, I would go to the 2.1" I still have factory shocks on the rear, I'll change to bilstein's when $ allows. From everything I've read, I should settle down a 1/10 or 2 after a little time. 2.8" sounds like what you want. If you end up nose high, rear spacers are less than $50 and take 1\2 hour to install.

 

[Yooper906]

23 7/8" front hub center to lower fender lip, 39 1/2" from the ground.
25 1/4" rear hub center to lower lip, 40 5/8" from ground.

 

[FISH ON]

Perfect

That is exactly what I was looking for. That helps a bunch!!!!!!
