another lift question
I've got a 2004 limited 6.0 with a 6" BDS lift and 37's. Kit has been on about 4 months and now is rubbing a lot when wheels are turned and going over bumps. I figure that the new springs have settled. I know I probably should have stuck with 35's but 37's look better. Anyway I need 2 more inches and don't want to buy a whole new lift. Has anybody tried putting 2" mini packs along with a 6" kit?

Rubs on front bumper and inside wheel well. Don't really want to start hacking at my fenders if possible. Dose anybody make flares that give you more room?

Show us a picture of your front leafs
I'm with Brent on this. A 1-2" lift shackle is dead easy to install. Then slap another leaf in the back and you should have plenty of hieght

Hubcentric wheel spacers fixed my rubbing on the leaf springs and some cutting on the plastic under the front bumper fixed the rest of the rubbing.

Hey RRTREE, nice lookin truck! I'm going to put the same lift on my X in the spring, have a couple questions. Did you have to replace your swaybar end links in the front, and were there any other parts you had to replace? It's my daily driver so I can't leave it sit while I wait for parts, tryin to make sure I have everything covered. Thanks brother!
