I am very interested in a write up on these. Picts please. What size tires are you hoping to get out of the lift? Measurements would be huge. I was looking at these too. Some people on the forums have put these on and loved them.

I probably won't be able to install till later this weekend or next. I was just wanting to restore some ride height. I run 285,s, don't imagine I'll ever run higher.

Got it installed, looks good. Took a little more time than I thought it would, but it done the trick.

Picts please, please, please. I know someone on the site who ran these and is running 35" tires right now. With just a little bumper trimming. I would like to know how much extra clearance these give you.

It measured 38 1/4 from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well before lift. It now measures 40 3/4 almost. I almost need to lift the rear now. Remind me about the pics in a day or so, I all forget

So you have an 8" lift and you wanted these? Did you want more lift?

By the way on Ebay is has the option for making an offer? Did anyone go that route and offer less? If so what did you offer?

nah, i got ahead of myself when i did my signature. it was the same day i got my shackles in and thought i was gonna put them on that day.

currently, i'm at 6" and even with the flares, my 40's rub the drivers side just a little, so with the shackles it'll be 8" in the front.

I got your message Kyle, as soon as work slows down. Easy install with a bottle jack and floor jack. I will say the rear needs to set at least an inch higher now, it looks funny

So that is 2.5 " But it is supposed to be a 2" lift right? Maybe your springs will settle?
