Well, I'd love to see it when you have it installed. And also get your ride impressions.

No problem will do, but I am kinda WEIRD.....I like the ride to be real good, or as good as it can be, so my impressions will be kinda brutal, when I put on the 2.5 inch spacers it rode so bad I took them back off the same day, in less than 1 mile of driving, it bounced up and down every bump and hole.

That's good for me - this is what I want to hear. I'm pretty sensitive about ride quality myself.

Raising a 2wd? I got laughed at when I wanted to lower my 4x4 for medical reasons(not here in this forum a Dakota one from 2000) I could not get one straight answer everyone thought I was from Mars. So now raising a 2wd, can I without sounding ingnorant, How come?Your truck Your business, just curious here. I would like to lower my 09 4x4 but am not touching the suspension, too many bad stories. I need a safe truck. I am gonna measure from the ground to the front of the rocker and the same spot at the back at the front of the rear wheel. Will that tell me the difference from the height of the front and back? Or where should I measure?

I'm just exploring options. My wife is considering turning in her H3, which I use as my offroad vehicle. There are a few places on friends' ranches, etc. where a real capable 4x4 is necessary. A stock Rubicon or H3 is pushed to its ground clearance limits. So, I was considering getting an H3T or the new Power Wagon in another thread and someone people suggested getting a dedicated trail rig. If I were to do that, I'd need to tow it in to these places and I'd keep my truck. Well, if I were just doing some light trail running, my truck would be fine with a locker and 2wd but I could use some more ground clearance, and that would eliminate the need to tow in a dedicated rig, if I go that route, on those occasions.
