Well how high do you want it? Do you want it to fit in your garage? How big is your garage? Do you care about fuel mileage or the cost of tires? How much $$ ya wanna spend? Most are content with a lvl.

JB is about the most complete build on the forum! He's got it all, or done it all :)
Agreed. I have about same but went with zone to save a few bucks. I will have to get measurements. I purposely left about an inch I believe in rake just to not let the front look higher and also if I tow it's not as obnoxious when the bed sags from the weight

The cornerstone of any lifted truck is what Size Tires you are going to end up with. You want your truck to end up proportionally correct. JB nailed it, as have a lot of guys here.

Tell these guys what size tire you're going to get, and they'll tell the correct everything else.

JB, there isn't any truck sharper than yours. Bold, yet understated. Love the black grill.
