The truck looks great. The new stance looks perfect.

Looks nice, I have been looking at those for my, it seems they dont make the adjustable for the 2500. THat would be nice to adjust, you got a nice stance, was it an easy install.

i let a local shop do it cause i dont have the tools or the time too but i sat in while they installed and it was pretty straight forward it took two people tho make enough room to get the coil spring and strut back in.

I've had mine for a month or so now. A little settling but the ride is really nice. Definitely worth doing. I added an inch coil spacer on the back as well.

So swapping from 2" HBS spacer to these at 2.8" would be worth it? Ride/Height wise...I will be swapping out the rears too, to match.
