Finally... Spacers gone, bils installed

[zstampe]

Instal was a breeze minus the top nut. Gonna wait and see how much these settle and decide if I want a rear spacer or not

What are you hanging your truck from?

Yeah it's settled quite a bit since that pic. I'm sure it will some more too. Only put 30 miles on it since the install. Worst case scenario I'll pick up a rear spacer too.

Just a quick tip. If you use an air rachet on the top nut, you dont need the allen key. It spins it so fast it breaks loose. I learned this after I rounded out the first one with the allen key.

Fish on, I posted a request in your last thread about the rear spacers. Would be much appreciated on my end, and others that installed their spacers on the bottom. Going to take mine off soon as well, would like to compare measurements. Thanks.

Didn't work on mine. Had to heat it with a torch.

So I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit on the front and so far no problems and no clunking. My truck is totally level and it measures 7 inches from the wheel well to the tire on all 4. If I were to go to the Bils would they still cause issues with the ball joints or UCA? Would I just replace the front 2 and add something to the rear? I think I do want the back end slightly higher so it levels out when I have weight in the bed.

Front end up a little high now. Can I get some suggestions on 1" or 2" rear spacers? I have heard spacers in the rear aren't as troublesome as front. I'm not really towing anything heavy or much tongue weight.

If you're looking at going 1-2" in the back, Icon makes a 1.5" lift spring for the back. Could be a possibility for you.

Front settled a little bit. I'm happy with it. I go back and forth on getting a spacer for the rear but I'll wait. I did order air lift 1000 air bags for the rear for when I'm towing or hauling. Will install them soon I hope.

I finally got a day for myself so I through on the 1" rear TGC spacers to go along with the bils at 2.8. I was on the fence about putting them on because the truck was level but the front wheel well is larger so I didn't like the look at certain angles. The 1" is just enough looks good. Also through on the Magnaflow muffler while I had time. All when pretty well. I'll send pics tmrw. It was poring by time I got done. Great suggestions from everyone.

Waiting on pics. I was wondering if the front wheel well was a little bigger. My steps look level with the ground. I thin it is pretty much level so I'll probably just leave it.

Any update yet on some pictures? Ever thought about maybe setting the bils to 2.1 up front rather then buying spacers for the rear to prop it up? Just curious.
