After spending alot of time trying to figure out which route I wanted to go I went ahead and went with the Ready Max leveling kit along with 2" blocks for the rear. I do some heavy towing so I din't want to get rid of the rake altogether so my truck wouldn't sag while I tow. However I don't mind the small rake on these trucks. I am completely happy with the way this came out and I'm hoping down the road to add some 35" tires. Either the Toyo M/T's or the Nitto Trail Grapplers, I haven't decided yet. I also just installed the MBPR 4" turbo back straight pipe, which sounds amazing.

 

If you dont already Id get some gauges and see whats up with it

scangauge II is a great unit for the price

 

Yeah sorry I left that one out I do have a scan gauge as well as the dieselsite coolant filter.

 

well if thats the case and the ficm and oil cooler is in good shape then Id say go with the blue fuel pressure spring upgrade it will help injectors last alittle longer

some say to check the fuel pressure first but I didnt and Iv never heard anyone say it boosted the fuel press to high 75psi max IIRC

just a thought

 

TRUCK LOOKS BAD ASSSSS ROCK ON .

 

Looks like a jewel...

 

Thanks guys for all the comments. Yeah I actually have the blue pressure spring installed already as well as an aftermarket alarm with remote start. I think next I'm going to put the rancho dual stabilizer bars on then upgrade the shocks to the adjustable rancho shocks. I'm also currently in the process of mounting my iPad in my truck and getting a new custom steering wheel with wood to match the dash instead of the saddle leather since it's starting to wear.

 

That looks freaken awesome!! How much did that raise it in the front? I am interested in getten the exact same set up. Are those factory good yr tires? That setup as is looks great. Reson i ask about he tires, I just bought those exact rims and tires from a buddy. My truck is an 05 with 18" rims, I like the 20"s better. I want to go ahead and do the lift like what but was going to hold back until I can afford new 35" tires. After seeing your set up I
At go ahead and get the lift. Again that looks awesome.

 

How's the ride? Is it any rougher now that you lifted it?

 

The front lift is the ready max leveling kit which is 2.5" lift. And yes those are the factory Goodyear tires. The ride didn't really change at all like I thought it would. It may have gotten a hair bit bouncier but and as for going over a bumps there as no change at all. I was actually really impressed with how the ride didn't change at all. The one thing you might want to change depending on how you use your truck is the rear blocks. I got 2" blocks which kept the factory rake just decreased it slightly. If you do aloof towing I would recommend the same. If you don't do any heavy towing you could get 1" blocks for the back and the truck would be fully leveled out.

 

Have you nailed down a tire yet? I am still looking...
