The truck is back and the kit is installed. The rear is about 2.50" - 2.75" taller than the front. Should be just enough rake for level towing.......The difference is subtle if your not familar with the truck, but I like it. 1.5" Daystar purchsed at 4 Wheel Parts. Pics in gallery.

Any problems with getting it aligned? Do you notice a change in handling and steering? I may have to go ahead and drop my dime on them. (after the x-mas bills are paid). Did you add 1" in the rear? Let us know how it turns out with a load out back.

The front end lifts looks good on ASHNBAK and Sevir trucks.
Does the front tires still track with the rears on the SRW? And with the 1.5" lift does it require a front end alignment?
Guess sometime in the near future I'll order the 1.5" lift for mine.

I'm having the coil springs replaced under the recall and their installing the spacers for me. Will post pics when I get the truck back.

I installed the 1.5 inch Daystar spacers on my 2wd Megacab this weekend and am a little disappointed. I measured from the top of the wheel to the lip of the fender before install at 5 inches and after install at 6 inches. So only 1 inch of lift - wish I would have went with the 2.5 inch spacers and got 2 inches of actual lift...
