2.5 inch leveling
#21
looks great. I wish trucks came from the factory level!
Daniel, generally they rate the lift as higher than what it actually gives because the companies say "the geometry of the suspension actually gives more lift than the spacer itself" but Im yet to see it give MORE....I dunno.
And the ride isnt really affected as much by the shocks as it is by the suspension changes. A spacer compresses the coil, making a stiffer ride and in my case, UCA and spring bucket contact
My rims are powdercoated also. Stands up way better than paint, less care than paint, and cheaper usually. Any metal can be done

Matt your totally right. My kit said it was 2.5 but the spacer was two inches , so it lifted it two inches , which is not level for my truck atleast. Your right about the shocks too bro, I replaced them because they were oem ones , didn't make a difference , its a bit stiffer
Its pretty crazy. Nobody has gotten an exact answer from companies, and they do different things to different trucks. We need to start a sticky on lift from spacers to keep a tab on what height people get from what sized spacers. Not what they say, but the actual height. Heres a pic i did to explain it awhile ago.

I'm kinda hooped with this kit then, The web sites say there fine but any other posts I've seen say the shock will over extend. Does anyone know what the shocks are measured at compresed and extended front & rear from the factory? Maybe with some counter patients at the parts store I can find something to work. I was realy hoping for belsteins! Maybe not.
