What tires do you have? I had the factory 18s up until 2 weeks ago and the front sat at 34 1/2. Jumping up to the 22" option raised the truck up over an inch but the wheel well gap is smaller and that's all I was concerned about. I really didn't want the thing slammed on the ground riding like a roller skate so for me this is perfect. Level, factory comfortable ride, and not a ton of wheel well gap.
I understand... the gap is what important... mine is not slammed at all ... I posted pic up with measurements on another thread I just don't know how to copy and post it on this thread.... my wheels are 22" tire size are 285/45/22

That looks really good. Any rubbing at that level?
No rubbing at all.... the ride in front is ok but a little harsh on bumpy roads so I am gonna switch the strut cup back to factory setting and install the spindles tomorrow... I will post measurements after the install and I hope it's not that much of a difference compared to what it is now...

^ give it a couple of days of driving, it may settle down a little more. (just from having everything apart)

Spindles may be a bit beyond my skill set. I could do them but I'm sure to screw something up.

Does anyone know of a good shop that could do the work for me around Portland, Oregon?

Thanks
