SMASH!!!! Update
Well guys,,, I got some new parts,
Here is how she sits right now. I've got hd leafs on the back n hd coils on the front.
I'm sitting 41" to the front fender from the ground
44.25" on the back.
I also got a new bumper n hitch. Oem.
Just thought I'd throw this pic in. Our lil monster truck showboatin. Lol
The ride is a lot better than I expected. The bone jarring stiffness really isn't a problem. It really just feels taller, not stiff. I was worried about a rough ride. My fuel tank is empty also. I think it was a good decision. I ordered a set of 2" leveling blocks, just for the heck of it,, doubt I'm gonna use them, but not sure yet.
What do your guys's trucks measure at to the lip of the sheet metal on the fenders???
