Are you grinding the top down? I just thought about maxtrac front coils, how much lift do they give 2.5 or 3?

Yea, grinded down the top of the 3" spacers ~1/4".

Maxtrac front coils are only 2". I was gonna go with those and a small 1/2" spacer, but I couldn't find a front spacer that small.

Also, I went around to the bushings on the shocks and control arms with wd-40 and all my squeaking went away! Now just worried about the driveshaft angle and a clunking noise lol

The install was pretty straightforward, but does take a while. Me and RAMBO both ran into the problem of control arm holes not lining up correctly and a few creaking noises from the rear that I need to get addressed. Other than that I think the kit is great. I chose this kit because of the control arm relocation.

Yet, If I only needed 4" or less I would've gone with the Maxtrac or CST rear lift to make the install easier.

The ride is amazing even with the extra rear spacers and the es9000 shocks, RAMBO's ride is probably amazing-er without the extra spacers and those bilsteins!

UPDATE: Got sick today and had to call out of work, so I didn't get a chance to take the truck in for the front install. Looks like it might not be until Saturday now bc I have to work overtime to make up some hours

They said they could get to it today around 3pm, so I got my fingers crossed they can make it happen. If not, Ill just do it myself on Saturday.

This massive rake is killing my style! lol
