New Struts, Shocks, Blocks, and Leveling Kit
There have been a couple guys use that stuff. How long has your's lasted? I put some on my antenna and it has done ok
Did you buy the rear shocks online, I cant seem to find them anywheres online. (Mind you I have not looked a TON)
Also are they stock length ones, or bigger to account for the blocks?

I bought them on amazon for ~$100 for the pair & I got free shipping. The part # is 58650.
I think we'll be good with 32" tires but not sure how wide we can go with that tho... might could squeeze in 33" with some major trimming. I'm not buying tires for another few months but my research has lead me to believe that 275 65 18 is a good choice for me when I do buy
What?! They're the same but they're different?
Anyway, having seen the angle myself before and after (the angles of the pictures are different - consider that) the outer tie rod is a bit further down (and angled more) than it was originally but not as bad as I had I thought it would. With the wheel completely off the ground, I still have plenty of play in the movement of the rod. And for the driving I do (all pavement) it won't be an issue.

Hey, it's your truck, and you drive it. Hope you like what you've done to it! That's what this stuff is all about.
I like stock, with changes only made to make it work better, and since I'm only off pavement occasionally, I don't need to raise anything.
Just out 265/75r16s on the wifes 2008. They measured out to 31.6" and came VERY close to rubbing when just sitting so I did a small amount of trimming. Anything taller than 31.6 is going to rub.
Yeah, from my looking at the pictures, the angles might have the same number, but a different sign (one +, one -), but you are there and I'm just looking at a photo.

Or am I missing something?
Why do you need a c-clamp on the springs? There is no need to remove the center bolt.
