Default '09 1500 with 8 inch suspension lift. *Pics inside*

Here's a couple crappy pics from my iphone. 6 inch ProComp lift with 2 inch RevTek leveling spacers which preload the front coils for about 1.5 inch of actual height increase. The front is now .25 inch lower then the rear.

Theyre pretty good on everything from deep mud to highway. They're reasonably quiet for a mt. I haven't really tried them in the snow tho

I would have never guessed that was 6" from the pictures. Looks like a good tire size if you actually use the truck offroad, they have some room to move.

The tubes are Mopar, there's two finishes chrome or black. I had the flares painted because it looked too Ford'ish. I'm also debating having the two tone removed completely
