Cool mega cab 7.5" lift with better than stock ride

installation was done by me and only me, probably about 12 hrs total, in my driveway and that is with fabbing my own shock an sway bar brackets and track bar location

this is how high i had to get it to get the springs and spacers in....

with the help of the rear shock extentions, and modified front shock towers, i was able to use the stock skocks, at their stock ride location, i also kept the stock pitman arm and upper track bar mount, with relocating the lower track bar mount, combined with the progressive rate coils and the long arm kit, this thing steers as good as it did new, and rides even better


all done sittin on 37 x 13.50 x 18 toyo m/t's and 18 x 10 moto metals, but still needs a bath

Looks great! But I don't understand your math, how do you lift a truck 7.5" with a 3.5" lift block in the rear?

Now Did you have to do a indexing ring for the front drive shaft or anything?

the front is lifted 7.5" higher than stock, 3.5" in the rear made it sit level, just like any other lift, the front goes up more than the rear

nope, it all clears, but i do have a small vibration, which the long arm kit said would happen, its nothin bad, nobody notice it but me, but i am gona add a carier bearing drop or a one piece rear shaft, when i get a chance
