Okay, so I got this done a few weeks ago and some had asked for pics so here you go. Turned out nice, but i wish i could have gotten a little more lift in the rear. Turns out I cant because the 4 link rear moves the passenger tire towards the frame and it would rub. :emotions122:
Not real sure how to go about getting another inch back there. I have thoguht about some wheel spacers and air shocks Anyone have some ideas?
One inch would be great, two would be badass.

Well, I got the keys in front and a 1.5" spacer in back already. Was going to put a taller spring spacer in the rear, but the tire rubs on the upper link that goes from the axle to the chassis. As you go higher, it moves the axle towards the driver side. Thats the best i can do with it right now.

Hopefully someone can chime in and offer some words of wisdom. I like it now, but it would look better with another inch of lift in back.

You need to extend the panhard bar to relocate the axle, then you can add some airlift 60769 helper bags to compensate for the big ass enclosure's weight. Can you get some pics of where it is rubbing the frame? Just the bracket with the bumpstop that hangs down or is it contacting something else? Looks good btw, the monsters aren't my cup of tea but the nittos are a badass tire :cheers:

Not my pic, did a quick image search and member VJR021's drop kit install showed up.

Here is where it is rubbing. Just the bracket.

I was told a set of air shocks would get me some lift maybe 1-1/2 - 2", but from your comment that may not be all I need. What do you think about the air shocks?

Thank you.

Get the helper bags and clearance that with a grinder, then spray it down with enamel paint or rubberized undercoating so it won't rust. I'd also recommend some bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks as the truck will ride considerably better...part #s are:
Front - BE5-C153-H0
Rear - BE5-D147-H0
