so was your alignment off? when miami installed his leveling kit it didn't affect his alignment at all. i just ordered my 2.5" kit btw.

i guess i'm lucky. my truck had 74k when i got it and i've put 52k on it, in all that time i doubt it had an alignment (it hasn't since i've had it) and when i got an alignment the other day the guy told me that he didn't have to touch it because the alignment was perfect. he said the toe was 1.98º and the tsb about toe on my truck says that is supposed to be 2º +- 1º, whatever that means.

Nice write up. I may do this for awhile to clear wider tires until I can "comfortably" afford a 5" skyjacker lift.

Not sure, never really looked the rough country lifts over too much, but probably.

Anyways I ordered the hell bent 2" spacers today. About how long did they take to get to your door Miami? I'm not the most patient man when it comes to waiting for truck stuff.

i ordered mine tuesday at about 11am and got them in friday when the mail came.
that's going from utah to north carolina.
your truck looks pretty level to me though, you may need add a leafs to take up the difference in the rear.

That is excellent news guys. I'm gonna go out here when it stops raining and and measure the distance from the ground to the wheel wells.

If I do need add-a-leafs what would be my best bet for getting them? Quickly, and price wise?
