    Yeah thats what I'm torn on. And no extra weight up front. So are you saying 3/2 will be close to stock then? I have -10 offset wheels (but I do have a CMC/trimming) and planning on running 265/70/17. So as long as it clears that. I don't technically need a lift anymore, but it does look better with a slight one.

    Thank you for the advice and help. 4/3 was exactly what I needed to be on. Nailed the stance I wanted. Thank you. ...And thank you to the others who also offered some advice!

    That is my take assuming your 22.5" measurement today is accurate. On the driver side that is 22.25....errr that is tough cll. In theory that could be below 21" and that is stock BEFORE any settling. Mine are at 20.5 now but I have rock sliders so that is probably part of it.

    Just stock leafs right now and I'm not sure, I didn't measure. If I had to guess I would say a full 2.5" like advertised.

    On a side note, the ride quality from 6/5 to 4/3 is a huge difference! I had a long 1hr drive home with both stances and 4/3 is butter compared to 6/5.

    Nice! You sound happy. What did the shop charge you to lower it?

    Nothing! I went to 88 rotors. I called them a few days ago asking how far they were booked out and they said they could do it in a few hours. So I picked my parts up from Nancy at head strong and went to 88 rotors who was only 15 mins up the road from them for a same day install. I asked them for level and left with bro nose. I called them back saying I wanted it more level and they did it for free. The SA told the mechanic I wanted level, but they are so use to doing big lifts that he missed that note. So they fixed it free of charge!

    Yeah I’m just worried 4/3 will give me less rake/bro lean. I don’t think these trucks look good level really.

    I went up a notch to 5/4 (from 4/3) after adding a 1" block and 1°shim in back. Thinking about going with an AAL from Headstrong in the future. Have 5160 in the back as well. IMG_20220514_153333096_HDR.jpg IMG_20220514_153313681_HDR.jpg

    looks good. Do you happen to have pics of it at 4/3 with stock rear height?

    I did exactly this and was very happy with the set up, it rode great. I ran on clip settings 3/4 and stock leafs in rear and 5160s. Was very happy with it.

    Agreed! That's what I run mine at and I love the ride quality!

    looks good. I'm looking to lower mine to this (currently on 6/5 but I'm returning the truck to "stock-like" and removing my dakars so wondering how this looks with stock leafs and height). Was it level? I have some miles on mine and they've settled in the last 3-4 years so it might be perfect for me going to 4/3.
