new 4" Procomp lift installed

So I installed my 4" Procomp lift - 22210 springs with add-a-leaf in the back. Did the dropped pitman arm and track bar bracket. Upgraded to RS9000XLs also.
Rides much better!
Mounted up 315/75R16 BFG AT on 16x10 Weld Outbacks. Backspacing is smalll so quite a bit of tire sticks out. More than I thought - and I have to do some inner rear fenderwell trimming....

They don't stick out that bad. I think they look perfect. My DC2's are 4.5" b/s.

Looks great for a 4 inch lift. I need to lift mine as well.

I would think with the spacing it would lessen the body roll wouldnt it? Wider stance?

No body roll??? geeze your lucky. I struggle to keep mine on the road stock. Maybe its a worn steering part? I always thought it was a given on these.

i mean there is ofcourse some body roll. but even in hard highspeed cornering its never gotton to a point i thought unsafe.

one thing about the keeping it on the road, every truck is different. i've had 3 diff excursions in 2010 and my '04 i could not keep in a streight line..wandered all over the road. my '00 drove so perfectly streight and smooth it was awsome. my '02 is pretty much perfect also but the steering wheel is cocked alittle to the left so i'll be getting a alingment soon.

balljoints,tie rods and and alignment(if they are needed ofcourse) can turn a worn out truck into one that drives like brand new.

Thanks! I bought the kit in pieces - I did it this way so I could get the RS9000 shocks - did not want the Procomp shocks.

Springs - 232.44
track bar bracket, pitman arm, u-bolts, etc. (Box 1 of 3) - 392.35
Add-a-leaf (Box 2 of 3) - 52.62
Rancho Shocks - 317.79 - 100 rebate = 217.79

All total - 895 shipped to me. - Everything was from autopartsdealer.com - cheapest at the time I ordered....
