Why dont you install it?

And yea the spacers generally give more than they say due to the geometry of the suspension BUT what Im thinking is the Readylift is shorter and they say it gives a MAX of 2.25. But we will see, when you do it we might have a better alternative!

The ready lift is 299 correct? the spindles are cheaper than that and you get more lift.

$399.95 if you buy it from readylift its right at $300 (give or take a few bucks just depends) if you go to a shop and have them order it for you

true about being more lift but i tow alot with my truck and plan to leave on the sway bar i personally think towing a 6000 pound trailer at 70mph with no sway bar is a really really bad idea also im not looking for the most height possible just a nice level and maybe a block if it sags too bad and some 285/75-17 dura grapplers

I don't know about 5.7L or other body styles, but my 4.7L QC sits almost exactly 2.75" lower in the front when I measured it.

Mine was closer to 2.75" at the beginning also. I have a 3" body lift (which doesnt affect rake) with a 2.5" level and 3" spindle. I have 2" shackles in the back and a 1.5" block. I am now 1/2" higher IN THE FRONT. Im hoping it will settle lol.

But anyway, that brings it (if you include the 1/2 difference) to more like 1.5" lower in the front. So I dunno. Brandon, when you put in those spacers I sent, I want you to measure before and after. I think we are getting more like .5" more in some cases
