    Can I get some pics of your trucks lifted with 2.5" Lift in front, 2" in rear?

    I know most do 2.5 in front and 1.5 in the rear... but I do not want a perfect level.. I want a slight rake. Just want to see some pics and hope its not too rear high.

    Seen a few threads with 1.5 rears, but nothing really for 2. Figured I'd start one. And who doesnt like posting pics of their trucks? ;)

    Heres mine, sorry for the size. Still getting used to the whole uploading pics thing. But your best bet is to measure the gaps of the front and rear wheel wells. And then figure out how much to add to the rear to compensate for a 2.5 lift up front. Because some trucks have saggier leafs, depending on how much they've hauled around over time.

    Thanks! That looks really good.

    Yeah, it is crazy how different the same lift can make different trucks look... :confused:

    I have seen some with 2.5 in the front and 0 in the rear and it looked level.

    Right now I have about 3/4" higher in the rear. This is 160k on stock suspension. I am replacing the front coils with stock new coils and 5100s at 2.5. So that should lift it up and be good with the new coils.

    The rear I am not replacing the pack yet, just the 2" AAL. So 2.5 in the front and 2 in the rear with only .75" difference as of right now, I should only have just a little tiny bit of rake. ? At least no more than stock rake. And if its just too high I can always swap it for a 1.5...


    MOAR PICS! ;)
