If wife would ever bring the truck home, I'd be able to get better pics...

So is there a way to either bring the front down a bit or raise the rear a bit so as to make it level ... or is this type of setup non adjustable? :think:

it has coilovers Serge, it can be adjusted up front. Can also be raised in the rear with an AAL (add-a-leaf) which adds about 1.5-2" by putting another smaller leaf spring in the leaf pack.

Can it be done, sure, but after dropping this much cash into the truck in 48 hours, I think I'm going to reserve any more modifications till after Christmas. We're pleased with everything about it; stance, ride quality, and appearance.

Definitely like how that front end looks being colormatched! :waytogo: I guess to each their own with regards to stance. I'm much more into a level stance.

I did get a chance to drive it last night for about an hour. You can definetly feel that it's lifted. The ride over bumps is not bad, its responsive, smooth, but not sloshy. You barely touch the steering wheel and it wants to steer, so the steering is definetly tight. No slack in it whatsoever. I'm extremely pleased with the coilovers and the reservoir shocks in the back. Definetly worth the extra expense. I do plan on adding dual reservoir shocks up front with the shock hoops, but, i think I am done with modding it for a little bit. Between this and the pool, I probably could have just bought another small house..

You can feel that there is more weight in the wheels and tires. Takes a bit longer to stop. One thing that I was suprised about is the responsiveness with this 6.2. It has the BBT for the 35s already. I programmed it before we left the shop. This ****** gets up and goes. Hauls ass for being so big. I was concerned about the 3.73 not being enough, but i think combined with the BBT and the 6L80, it just works out perfectly.

buy me an AAL and I'll make you happy, promise... :Handshake:

It's not bad Jacob... see this pic? It's just the picture that makes it look worse, and the angle of the driveway

I gotcha. I didn't know your drive was that slanted to make that big of a difference. It'd looked like you raised the front up a few inches since that first pic. :waytogo:

It isn't that slanted. It's the angle of the pic combined with the angle of the drive.

;)

Are you able to park that in the garage? Looks to be a close fit at least :)
