My buddy also gave me the Daystar 2.5" front lift. I have a Lariat 4x4 sc. I am told it does not effect the ride. I hope to put the whole package together, probably with new wheels and tires.
Thanks for the comment.

Got them from http://www.performanceproducts.com
rears were like $69. a nobrainer to install. fronts were tougher you need spring compressor.

Has them for $64.95 plus free shipping on orders over $200.00
I put them on the rear only made a huge difference.

Dang! that must be a good buddy to set you up like that...
He must want your truck to look it's very best!
My advice would be to drive a truck with the lift already installed and get a feel for it. Anybody local you know that might let you drive a badass, leveled, black, SuperCrew?
Peace

I only used the Bilsein on the rear because I built my fronts out of SwayAway Racerunners w/coilover and threw away the stock springs and shocks I didn't want to spend $300.00 each for the rears.
