    I would have to get new top hats because the top hat from readylift is a 1/4in spacer all in one

    rear has 2in blocks and 5125's. Will do a leafpack at some point but currently trying to repenish the funds after my splurge of new tires, regear, sliders (on the way), CMR kit (on the way) and soon KDMAX tune

    I tried to get a few pics here. I also rocked the truck side to side with my hands on top of the fender on each side and the driver side seemed to have a little more movement. Will be home in about 20 minutes or so to measure center of hub to fender

    Enough for now
    6/5 on mine with 650lbs springs. Also have the sumo springs blue front bump stops. Ride is great, better at higher speeds.

    They are 1/4" poly so they only make about 1/3" of lift. I had the 6112's pre assembled and I install the assembly myself so that gave me some flexibility in the ride height. It worked out great for what I wanted.

    I know a guy that did that. He was much happier, especially loaded.

    approximately 25in from center of hub to fender. don't have a clue what stock is or what is good. the small, quick chatter is where they seem really stiff. bigger dips or bumps are better. it feels like there's too much rebound

    So that Readylift top hat must be giving a little more lift than it advertises... ugh kinda of a pain but i guess i might have to take them out and lower the clip settings. their website advertises that it comes pre-assembled at 3in of lift and both are set at 6. wondering if that combination just doesnt allow enough compression with the weight of the vehicle and the shock is just riding nearly all the way extended

    More lift is not always good. IMO that’s why I stuck with Bilstein’s recommended settings and pear with appropriate coil. Your CV angles look real tight as well to me.

    Good luck OP.

    I appreciate it. i had a 3in spacer lift on the stock sport shocks before these and i definitely think this is higher in the front than before. Having some work done on the truck soon so when its on the lift ill probably go ahead and do that at the same time cause im pretty sure the guy has a spring compressor.
