you dont have to post it as an attachment. start a gallery here or go to photobucket. right click and hit copy link or copy location of pic. paste that in between the image tags (hit the button that looks like a picture of a mountain, right next to the quote button). do this for each picture.

Most older trucks have solid front axles, making it easier to lift. this is also why a lift for a superduty is a little bit less. The suspension is less complicated.

Question

LOL, ok ok, i got it. Sorry to leave you hangin! Not the best pics, but this is what I had on my work computer....

http://s354.photobucket.com/albums/r416/hooktem/

Question: Is the backend of the truck supposed to be lower than the front?! It's really kind of pissing me off! The original leafs only have 27,000 miles on them, so it couldnt be from wear.

Thanks!

You need to either do an AAL or get the Fabtech 5" block to replace the one your kit came with. I have no idea why they don't just put the 5" blocks in the kit since the 2" blocks that come in the kit leave the rear end sagging like your's.

That's ridiculous. Which way should I go between the two?

Where do you think I should pick those up? Any idea how much they cost?

Looks good but you need to get the rear up more. Ive got a 1.5" aal in the classifieds, but you may need more than that by lookin at it.
