From: Minot AFB, ND in person, the 'burgh at heart
it actually looks like the front sits a bit higher too. if i had to guess, it looks like you tweaked the t-bars 1" and then put in blocks in the rear to get the 2 1/2" back there?

no sir...left the front alone. Its just the blocks in the back. In the last pic by the red curb that part of the parking lot is on a slope. I meant to take it at the same place as the before pic but i forgot. I could actually tweak the front bars for 1" and it would be almost level but im gonna leave it like this for now.
the blocks measured at 3", and i took the addaleaf out. so now if i crank the front bars for the extra 1" then yes, i believe i would be very close to the full 6". 2" blocks instead would have made it sit about perfectly level, but i got the slight rake I wanted so im happy. Oh, i do need longer shocks now though. I havent even started looking for those yet though.
Looks real nice man, I hope to get my 6" lift by summers end.
Question though are your tires like 34's and are your rims 8" or 9"?
im not sure, but i think the wheels are 10". Im not sure how tall the tires are now, but they arent 35" anymore, they are worn down to about 9/32" right now. Im looking for a nice all terrain tire for it right now, its gonna take a while to decide lol.
Looks nice man!! It almost looks like your axle moved visibly forward because of it though... I didnt think 1.5 inches would do that...
hmm....i didnt measure that, but its possible. If you picture an arch that the driveshaft makes moving up and down, technically yes the axle should be closer to the transmission now. The blocks were tapered to offset the pinion angle too. I didnt think to measure it though.
