Front Fender


Rear Fender

 

so your rear is exactly 1in higher than the front. I have heard of people removing an overload spring if you dont tow, that would be a 1/2in, spin the tires a bit and lose another 1/2 inch and there you go!

Im trying to think on how to get you that extra inch...everyone else with the bilstiens have been closer to 3in total lift

 

honestly, i think im the first with a reg cab short bed to install them. like i've said in other posts, i think the angle is steeper on them. Don't know if that makes sense or not. shocked me it was exactly an inch difference, couldn't do that again if i tried. have considered beltech drop shackles. says 1.25 drop on their page. if it is 1/4" shorter in the rear i could just put spacers in to get it as close as i could. just glad i finally decided to take pics so ya'll didn't think i was nuts lol.

 

it's way to easy to spin the tires now

 

it is not that bad, looks like your worried over a 1/2 inch..just make sure the snap ring on the front shock is all the way up as I posted earlier. Crawl under the truck with a flash light and look up the shock. If it isn't, it is a like a half our job to move them.

 

i think his front is 1/2 lower than the back
OP are you sure there are not lift blocks in the rear? that leaf spring pick looks like there might be something in there

 

here's a better pic of the springs. looks to me like factory spring seat.



if it was just a half inch i wouldn't care, but it's enough that it is noticeable.

 

ya does look factory

 

yeah, think im gonna go with the drop shackles from beltech and they add shims under the springs if i need too.

 

lol lower it and lift it? I hope your u-bolts are long enough to play with shims
