looks great, I suspect my truck will sit about the same come this spring except a little less poke. What kit did you add to the rear and was there anything you had to add to the bds kit it didn’t come with? Castor bushings etc

How much does the heavy service front end lift the front over stock? 2019 6.7 diesel.

I posted this on a different thread, I know its a little late but thought it may help someone else...I have a 6.2L 2019 4Door short bed with snow plow prep. I added the readylift 2.5 with trackbar relocation bracket. It ended up giving about .5"-.25" nose high depending on tire pressure. This gave me caster issues big time, ride was terribly harsh. Added caster shims (2.5°) and radius arm drop brackets (had to grind the brackets to fit the frame as I bought ones for a 16) after doing that I added a dual steering stabilizer from rough country. The difference is ten times better now, no more flighty and loose steering/bump steer/death wobble, and smoother ride. If you don't make these caster adjustments you will be disappointed. I also used forscan to drop my TPMS thresholds and I now run my tire pressure at 50 front 45 rear on stock 275/70/18 tires and the ride is night and day! I've pulled my trailer with 3 yards of top soil on it, and didn't air up the tires and it didn't really make a difference for reference.

Measurements are 44.25 front and about 43.75 rear or a touch over from ground to fender well.

spoke to BDS about 2in kit and they had no idea what i was talking about said that the shocks should be ok and it should work.my question is being i already have 1in and im adding 2 more will the track bar and shocks fit being they are rated to a standard truck spring?
also spoke to ready lift and got the same response
any help will be appreciated i would rather not change spring but it looks like i might have to

I Have the snow plow package and put a 2" BDS leveling kit along with caster shims, longer Fox shocks and adjustable track bar.

Do you have any pictures of the Truck with the 2” BDS? I’ve thought about this kit a bunch... how do you like it the ride before and after. Trying to decide between this and Carli springs and parts.
