If you have a 6" lift...measure from the center of your wheel to the bottom of your fender. List front and rear measurements, and what brand lift.
Rough country 6" lift
Front: 27.5"
Rear: 28"

Wow. And i have my front bils set at 2.8". Yeah rough junk


I do have a slight squat, but it's barely noticeable. It does sit higher than a buddies at work with a Procomp stage 1 kit. He didn't have the prorunner ss shocks. I had them set at the lower setting when I first got it and I am taking a guess my front was in the 27" range.

I have a 6 inch BDS that I can measure when I get home. Any specific way you want it measured with bushwacker flares?

I have a 6” pro comp and I think my angles are better than OEM lol

I don’t get why so many trucks are so drastically different with relatively similar lifts heights

But then again my Bils are only at .7”

Yeah those angles are WAY too steep. What all are you running for lift?


It's the 6" Procomp. My front end is obviuosly riding higher than everyone else that has posted.

The prior owner had the lift installed. I ran into him a year later, right after I had adjusted the sleeves in the front to raise it. I asked him why he had it set at the lower level. He had no idea what I was talking about. I showed him how much higher thetfront end and level the truck was compared to when I bought it from him.

With that said, if I showed up to get my truck after the lift install, the crazy rake it had would have had me asking questions before I drove off with it. It rides great, no alignment issues and was smooth, recently it has become slightly squeaky, so going to replace those cv's and tie rods. Want to see what else I need correct that angle while I am at it.

Something is amiss, I have not seen anyone with a 6" lift post angles like I got going on.

I would check to make sure you have dropped knuckles, crossmember, and transfer case brackets. If you do, maybe check for coil spacers.
What are your measurements front and rear?
