Could be the angles of the pictures. You might need camber bolt if you haven't already go them. I didn't know so I couldn't tell you for sure. Your lucky your Dad knows lift's.

Good you should do it. I have been getting thumbs up and compliments like crazy and its only been one day. I didnt even think it was that big, but all my friends were like HOLY CRAP!!!! when they saw it. My shocks are made for 2" of lift so IDK. They measured out to be like 3" longer than the stockers. The flash made it look like they arent even tinted at all in that pic dang! I dont wanna tint these anymore because I am getting the new superduty tails

Oh and you will definitely need new shocks for the rear if you put blocks and a AAL.

You are probably right. I didnt take "the best" pics for looking at angles and what not. I will go take more, and show ya.

I am pretty lucky. He has been a mechanic for like twenty something years too so that really helps.

I agree.. I am not worried about it. If the ball joints go out as a result of my truck looking the way it does then so be it.

Are you referring to my truck looking good with the tires that it has now? I am trying to get some used 35's or something. I have been checking craigslist religiously everywhere withing 100 miles of me to find them, and all that I can find is terra grapplers with like 40-70 percent tread left.

I know! I am letting the tinted tail lights crowd down right now. I think maybe that it has faded a little bit, and I asked my dad about it. He said that I am smoking something so I was like.. well maybe I am just gettin used to it.

saying the lift looks great but the tires are too small to look awesome.

check houston theres always stuff there like a set of 35 or 36's on 16.5" rims for like 700 or try and find someone and get them to split up the tires from the rims.

Thanks man! I have gotten that like 157 times today that I need bigger tires. I guess I should put Doestch stickers ALL over my truck because I am already getting annoyed by people asking what brand it is. Maybe they should sponsor my truck and give me some better stickers .

I dont have 16.5's though. I dont think that would work and I dont want new rims unless I could get ahold of some chrome rockstars. If I got chrome rockstars then every other thing thats chrome on my truck would be turning blue, and no more grille guard. Haha I wish .

What do I need to sawzall? The valance? I measured the full turning distance all the way what it would be with 35's and they wont even touch the valance, and the closest they get to the fender is about 2 inches and some change.

I cant imagine how longer coils would make for better angles . I would have to see the pictures to see what you mean. I thought that the longer coils made the LCA further from the UCA which means worse angles because the UCA has to angle down to the spindle.
