yeah you have to cut a new hole for the setup because the other one will not be in line for the crank shaft. However I just put my spare in the bed.

But yeah you remove something with the tyranny and put something else in. I didn't and it broke and had to pay $400 dollars to fix it.

But really just read the instructions and you'll be fine

Wow lot of responses thanks! They want $450 to do it...so at least I know they are asking fair price! Funny thing is they want the same cost for a suspension lift!?

I wonder is I raise the front 2 inches and the back 1 inch and they do a 3 inch body lift if my 33" tires would just look stupid?!?! I chose 33" cause I didn't want much rubbing and didn't want to have to change my gears...more cost!

I run 6" of lift with 33's. I would much rather look stupid (although I dont really think it does) then have to drive with 35's and 3.92 gears.

If you lift the front 2", you shouldn't have to lift the rear at all if you're going after a level.

well I ripped the brush guard out..called the company...again...again...again and emailed...again...again...again and no response :| The dent is bad but not terrible in the bumper so I decided to try to save my money up (maybe tax return? :P ) to get a full bumper/guard replacement.

I have 2 add-a-leafs in my stock spring packs and it leveled my truck perfectly. But, I also gained 3.5" in the front from the coil springs I got from the local spring shop (I think they are for a diesel truck).

From my understanding, stock v10 and diesel springs will net 3" or so of lift on a half, while the 3/4 ton gassers are more like 2" or so.
