    no problem > i think this is the best way to go if you are looking for a good lift not to much and a better ride. I did a pro comp 3 inch lift with leafs and blocks on my 2016 double cab and it did not ride as good as this 2018 truck does its like night and day and saving money also

    Do these measurements sound correct... I do have a heavy bed mat and oem bed cover on the rear

    Tried to measure from the bottom of the fender flare to the center of the wheel on flat ground with a mostly full gas tank


    DF ... C of hub 20 5/8

    DR ... C of hub 21”


    PR... 21.5.

    PF ... 20 7/8



    C- 20 5/8 ..... C- 20 7/8
    C- 21. ..... C- 21 1/2

    So with these measurements would I not be better off just going with stock springs and maybe setting the bilstein to #2 and then when my bumper comes I am level or just slightly raked? But with bilsteins all around it will ride better and handle rougher road firmer and smoother-
