last weekend put on 37s. installed thuren front and rear coils. 1.5" rear spacer. thuren front trac bar. synergy drag link. fox 2.0. this weekend installed thuren rear trac bar assembly. rear sway bar end links.

lost 1.5* caster. next weekend ill adjust the cams and get the 1.5* back. 1.5" rear spacer put me at 2.5" rake. not sure yet if ill stay with it or go to 1" spacer and get back to my original 2" rake. since im using rear spacer i might install a carli rear sway bar drop bracket to get the thuren rear bar back to original angle. has alittle bit of tail wag but not terrible. drop bracket might get rid of it. only been probly 100mi on the highway so far but the tires are smooth as can be at 80mph. super stoked

rear gear the diffs at some point. wallet took a beating these last few weeks:Pshyco:

Man that looks good! I think 37s is where it's at with these trucks! I'm feeling inadequate with my stock 33s. Regarding rake it's looks great as is....I measured the rake on my 2019 today and I have about a 1.5" factory rake. If I recall 2019s were lifted a litter more (~7mm) in the front vs. prior years. What are the details on the tire/wheel setup including offset? Oh and how is the ride vs. stock? I've only had mine a few days and sometimes it's bumpy over the rough roads but I expected that with a HD truck.

I think the amount of rake depends on how much you load you bed down or tow heavy. If it is a work truck you need the rake. If it is a toy keep it reasonably leveled

tires is 37x13.5r17 buckshot with +18 offset. city driving really theres no rubbing. offroad ill probly have to trim the lower rear plastic im sure. cross that bridge when i get there. the springs are soft no doubt. almost marshmellowy feeling. i want to hit some jumps or curbs now:anitoof:. stock springs have a slight firmness which didnt bother me and is much less than standard HD trucks but the thurens and fox2.0 eliminates most of that firmness

im keeping atleast 2" rake as these springs werent meant for heavy hauling and it sqauts down with just a few hundreds pounds but thats the trade off for this type of suspension
