I have the 1.5" spacers w/no issues over 70,000 miles. I did have the 2" installed, but them install 1.5" as the 2" pushed things too far.

With the 2": The truck flet strange and alignment was hard to come by, also the shocks got extended too much on bigger bumps. A 2" spacer will raise the front end 2.5" and a 1.5" spacer will raise the front 2".

I will be posting the pictures by tonight. I havent had any issues with bumps yet but I dont really take the truck off road or anything. Just the typical pot hole here and there. I purchased the kit online and Daystar drop shipped for them. The kit cost me $125 for the 2.5 and I think it was $80 for the 1.5.

As far as pressure in the assembly the spring is barely sitting in the upper control arm which does scare me a little but as I mentioned I dont push the truck to hard. I can take pictures of the kit installed to so everyone can see that as well.....

Also this is very addicting and I am sure its only a matter of months before I go a full blown lift 6" CST or Fabtech.....

I've had mine on for four months give or take and the only time I hear out of the norm happens when I get air under the tires. Had no problem getting it aligned just had to get longer shocks so they didn't get over extended.

I have oversized tires that fill the wheels more and I had 3/4" blocks to lift the rear just a little.

Nice looking truck. Are those American Racing Mojave rims? Did you polish the lips?

No, they are Discount Tire's "MB" Brand. Pretty good quality & price; plus the backspce and offset are very close to stock wheels.
