Spacers are out and it looks and rides great again! Feels so so much better! Now I measure ~39" in the rear and ~38.5" in the front. I'm done messing with my level for now. Thanks for the input! :thumbsup:
I've changed my mind on the z71 springs and spacers. I'm gonna have the spacers yanked out this week! I took some cargo out of the back and it came up even more. I'm ~40.5" in the rear. Looks goofy and way too raked. I think running just the z71 coils will level it out and make it look just...
Thanks for the info Will! Your rig looks great! Would like to see some current pics with the Moog coils. You have the same measurements as me. I think the rake will be great for towing, just prefer a level or "cali-look" for everyday driving. Hopefully the rear coils will settle a little...
Didn't realize the keys could still be cranked, not sure why the shop didn't mention this. Am I killing the ride by cranking?
As far as UCA's, would that only help for 2WD or would these help with 4WD too?

Yea I'm already keyed and and it was level prior to the z71 coils with just the 1.5" spacer. Now with the z71 coils it sits a little higher in the rear. I'll need to get some new pics up. Also installed some Method Roost wheels which look really nice!
Got my z71 springs installed yesterday (MOOG Part # 81069). With the 1 1/2" spacers it jacked the rear way up! I'm unsure about it right now. My speed shop thinks it looks about 2" too high in the rear. I think it looks good and am hoping the springs settle in a little bit after driving.
I...
Thanks! I don't think I'm sold on the in-cab controller. At first I thought I wanted it, but it's compressor and air line driven and from what I've read and heard it's a headache. I think it's even manufacturer discontinued.
I just put on a set of Rancho 5000's when I did my level. I think they ride great, but since I'm gonna have the shop swap in my z71 coils I figure while I'm there I'll go ahead and upgrade to the 9000's (they will pro-rate me the difference).
I see all the Bilstein recommendations, but was...
Hmmmm, now you got me thinking bags. Which parts are folks running, where can I check these out? I just ordered the Z71 springs today and decided to swap my shocks to Rancho 9000XL.
Saw a lot of discussion about the Moogs...these are what I plan to put on:

Sounds good. I already upgraded to Rancho 5000's when I did the level.
Are these the coils I need?:

I'd like to change my front gold emblem to a black one. Is there a certain brand that I should use? I see the vinyl kits which seems kinda cheap or aluminum replacements. I also see them sold with and without border. Thoughts?
I just leveled my truck (keys/spacers). I tow a boat often and I noticed it drops down quite a bit in the rear when I hook up. I saw discussion of swapping to Z71 springs in the rear for extra load capacity. Would this be a worthwhile upgrade? Will they fit with the spacers? Will it ride...
