Talking Daystar 2.5 front and 1.0 rear with 35x12.50R20

Well just had my Daystar 2.5 spacers and rear 1.0 coil spacers put on today along with my 35x12.50R20 Federal Couragia M/T on my stock oem 2o inch wheels with 1/4 inch spacers on the front.. No rubbing at all.. tires balanced very easy with little weight.. I like the change completely I mean its day and night but my only gripe is that the rear sits higher and i think i may be going to bilsteins to get that lil extra i need.. Can anyone suggest what I can do to get 1 more solid inch outta the front lift.. I know i could always just remove the rear spacers but thats just no fun.. Thanks for everyones prior post reguarding lift/levels cause this website has walked me through quite easily.. Thanks again..

looks awesome i personally like the stance its at now. I am surprised it has that much rake with only a 1" rear spacer.

i dont think you can go anymore then that without a true lift kit.

even though its not what you want, i would drop the rear spacer for a half inch or remove completely if that gives look you desire.

Looks good, now are spacers the best way to keep the 4wd drive vibration away?

No, new high angle driveshafts is the only way to keep it away. I miss my lift! The truck looks awesome, Hopefully you will enjoy a lot of miles before the vibration starts. Mine took about 20K! Good luck

I am getting a slight vibration at different speeds.. my tire shop called it a "tire kick" lol i know what it is but hopefully it doesnt get worse or cause anything to wear quickly.. gonna get a 6" lift in the next year to bypass all the dodge death wobble drama..lol but lift is well worth the lil vibration.. hell it keeps me awake while i drive..lol
