??? Everyone with a 4" lift

Those who have a 4" lift could you take a measurement from the center of your wheel to the top lip on your wheel well. I have x codes and a 2.5" leveling kit and I'm not sure how much I would actually gain by installing 4" springs. I need just a little more height in the front.

A 4" lift is typically 3 1/2" to 4" up front and 2" in the back. How much more room do you need?

Typically a 4" lift will allow you to run 35 x 12.5 tires with no issues at all. That's around the size of your 315's.

They fit fine now. After I installed the x codes and leveling kit the nose sat taller than the rear. So, I added a 2" add a leaf to the back. I love the height in the back and was wanting to get the front up just a little more. If its gonna be a pain to get it where I want I'll just forget it. Everything works now as is.

A proper truck sits higher in the rear than front... I say leave it alone. They come that way from the factory for a reason.

I installed x codes up front and it sat level... rode like **** with any load, especially the truck camper. Death wobble, etc. I added F350 rear blocks and it looks/rides much better now that the rear is ~1.5-2" higher than the front. My "death wobble" is gone.
