Default Well here it goes...

Call me crazy but i would like to give away my 3 in. lift for my truck,only thing is you would have to come and help me take it out. No im not high
or anything maybe a little sleepy from watching butler let duke slip by
other that im fine lol. Ill take some pics after dinner but from the way it
looks its just the leveler's up front and the metel blocks on the back.So
think about it,im in Ft wayne indiana,northeast corner of the state.2 hours
north of indy email me at (truckerboy1968@msn.com) if you have any questions. And the reason why im taking it off is that i want the truck
back to the factory stance.

thanks scott

The trucks don't sit level from the factory. They are trucks and meant to carry weight in the rear so it sits about 2 inches higher back there.

here's my measurements from an old thread.

here's the height of my stock suspension 4wd, on 285-75-16, which are about 32" tall with about 50 psi of air.

measured from concrete floor to wheel well lip, at the center of the tire.
front - 38-1/4"
rear - 40-3/4"

and the rear has 3" blocks.

Ok bear with me,so taking the level kit out is just a matter of taking the cup that the front springs sit in out and droppng it down
