2011 6 inch suspension transformation pics
more lift
so i ordered bushwacker fender flares and i just received them today. my plan is to paint them to match this weekend and install first of next week. my fear is that once they are installed they will give the illusion of making the fender to tire gap smaller, which i don't want so i am going to lift my truck just a bit more. so i checked out the axle shaft angles today and there is some room left to lift it some, i wouldnt say i would dare go to far comfortably but 1-1.5 more inches i think is obtainable with no vibrations or reprocutions. so my plan is to put the adjustable bilstein front struts but to only use about half of the available height shooting for around 1.5 inches and a bit firmer ride then in the rear i will put just a coil spring spacer and shoot for around 1 inch should end up with the truck sitting a little closer to level with a bit more tire to fender gap so with the fender flares it should look similar to the way it does now and with a bit more lift. i will let you know what if any problems i run into as i go along.

SICK...... that is exactly the look that I want. What is the backspacing and offset of your wheels? I have a 2010 Quadcab 1500 with stock 17x7 wheels, lookin to go bigger. No rubbing or anything at full turn or in reverse?
