Using leveling kit for lifted SD
I have what appears to be a 4", "Full Traction" lift on my 05' SD Crew Cab. I just put 37"'s on her and well, you know the rest. I get rub on inner fender well. I already cut the front bumper a tad and don't want to ghetto it out anymore than I already did. I do NOT want to cut the inner well. Can I use a leveling cat AFTER a lift has already been installed? I only need another half inch (Funny...the wife says that to me too)!

Don't cut the inner liners. Just pull them back until you get no more rub. I did mine using a piece of stainless steel tubing on each side. Cut them the length I needed and made flat spots on the ends with a vise. Then drilled holes in the flat spots for bolts. Bolted one end to the area of the liner where it rubs the most and pulled back quite a bit and scresed the other end to the bottom of the cab frame.
