Not new. I picked 'em up a few yrs ago on CL. Yeah, cheap. I've been waitin' for my tires to wear out and put these rims on. Am I gettin' close?

Cheers from St Louis,

Hey Sean- noticed you have V's and the leveling kit with 315's. I put X codes and 350 blocks on my diesel X and run 285's. The front has already sagged and is about 1 inch lower than the rear. I would like to add the same type of leveling kit to the front of mine. What did you do to the rear to make it level?

Nothin' yet, the raked look is growing on me.

I'm planning on trying some F350 rear springs (already purchased used and waiting for me and a free holiday weekend), then can adjust with a 2, 3 or 4'' block out back.

I will have to pop a tire off tonight and post the offset on the wheel. These are 305/70/16 GY Duratrac. Not sure the wheel offset because they where on the truck when I got them.

I will post what they are later.

You're not alone. I too have some rake. I think it's subtle enough that I can live with it at least until I get 315s and 16x8s. I think it may look better then.

I've been thinking about doing the springs on my ex also but i don't want to sacrifice the ride. Does anyone have experience with this.

Skinfan- that is my X almost to a T!
I have 39 3/4 inches from the center of the front wheelwell to the ground with X codes and 285's. Rear is 41 1/2 with F350 blocks and stock springs. The front was 41" when the springs were put on new 1 year ago.

Haha glad to know there are a few of us. I have V codes with an add-a-leaf and B codes with 1" block rear. If I remember correctly I'm 41 1/4" front and 41" or so in the rear. Everyone is so used to seeing these things high in the rear level they look nose-high.

BPayton I'm pretty sure my V code fronts are way stiffer because of my add-a-leaf, but I still prefer the stiffer handling characteristics despite the harsher (yet more controlled) ride.
