Alright guys.. BILSTEINS post your pics!!!

so two questions how was the body lift to do and also you added wheel well liners in rear?

I am ordering the zone 1.5 BL also but I think I am leaving the stock 33's and 20's until I need tires. I thought at first it would make them look small but after I got used to the bils at 2.8 and added the hoop style steps I think it wont look any worse than a stock or leveled 2500

the lift was easy ,pretty strait forward. The worst part was grinding the alignment pins for rear bumper brackets and drilling holes in front/rear, also for brackets. If you have a die grinder and a SHARP bit it makes easy work of it.
As for the liners...they're the originals. They cover the gap perfectly.
Its simple.
I call my local 4wd shop, just out of curiosity,and they wanted $850 to install. I laughed at the guy!(he wasn't impressed) For a shop to charge 10 hours for this kit is ridiculous! a 3-5 hr install at most.
If you decide to do this, ill be happy to help by answering any questions you have.

They look nice. Not something you see all the time.

Thanks!! That was kinda my thought too.
I originally was going to get Fuel Beast 20x9 & 35's but I like the look of more tire & white letters!! OLD SKOOL!!!!!!

Yea but I’m not sure what kind of coils those are. Rear have extra leafs/add a leafs. No blocks.

Cant wait to do this install. Was hoping someone had their old struts they wanted to get rid of really cheap... so I could mount all the hardware on my bils one day, and then the next swap out the fully assembled struts with bills into my truck. Should save some time.

If you go with the bigger one (6112) they can be bought ready for install

I have the old shocks, but not the springs or collars you need for that kind of swap.
