I talked to a guy not long ago about this at a garage. The only way I know to tell if it has been done is to look and see if the trucklooks level. He said if you adjust it just a few turns (enough to raise the front end about 2 inches) it shouldn't really hurt anything, but he said it may cause it to be a very rough ride because the truck will bottom out over big bumps! But he did say to be careful if you adjust more than 2 to 2 1/2inches, because it will blow something out (somethingto do withthe front axle, I don't remember what he called it). He said a guy came in with that problem and it costed $700 to fix it! Hope this helps.

thanks for the info. no it does not look level at the moment. i was told by 4wheelparts that if i were to level out the truck i'd be able to run 35x12.5 tires. however, i was looking at it the other day and there doesn't seem to be very much room between the 33's and the bottom of the fenders. now from the top of the fender to the top of the tire there is more than enough room, i'm just worried about the sides.
