Thanks Brad!!!
Not much goin on with the truck just trying to keep this thread going...
Gag gifts from the girlfriend, she has a terrible sense of humour
Oil change soon, thought I'd upgrade to Royal Purple
Tires nestled away for the season

That's for sure!
Do you have 4 or 5 leaf spring packs in the rear, I like the stance your truck has, being higher in the front than the rear. That's the look I want on mine when I get it painted. I have F250 springs in the front which lifted it only 1.5" in the front, even with another 1/2" in the front, I don't think it would sit as level as yours.

the rear has a 5 pack about 2 years old now so it hasn't really started sagging from age
with 3 inch blocks
front had (well still does) a 4 inch coil spring lift with all the drop brackets from RC tho I
swear that one inch difference between the front and back doesn't make it level
enough. so about a year later I bought 2" leveling spacers for the front.
all said and done front lifted 6" rear lifted 3" perfect leveling for a 2wd reg cab 8ft bed (too me
).

Ok, thanks Nick that makes sense now. Looks awesome the way it sits.
I have been considering taking out my 3" body lift and putting in a 4" suspension, with coil spacers, just like your setup. Could add a 4" suspension along with the body lift, too, but would only do that if/when I convert this thing to 4x4.

original starter decided to not live anymore so I threw in a new one
...and the sway bar has been nothing but a PITA since I put the lift (rubbing on drag
links) in so I decided to install the sway bar drop down brackets that came with the lift.
and lone behold they pushed the sway bar up and back giving the drag links room to
breath.
