Shaft up or shaft down?

Problem solved, Bilstein 5150's installed







Love them so far, fairly noticeable difference over the Pro Comp ES9000's that came with the lift

Have had my BFG's for 10 months now and they have been great in every condition (which is just about everything except snow and ice). If you're looking at getting a set I'd recommend them

I know this is off topic but are those aftermarket fender flares? I have been looking for some and I really like the look of yours. They don’t extend onto the front bumper like the factory ones I have seen.

Keep your spacer and run these shocks http://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/p...-Leveling-Unit. That's what I have in mine and I have a Pro Comp stage 1 and it rides great. For the rear I'd go with the 11.93" of travel if your keeping the 6" lift but if you're raising it more now or in the future go with the 14.53" of travel, and for valving always go with 255/70.

If you're talking about my truck they're the stock FX4 fender flares

I guess you figured out that the rezzy wasn't going to be good next to the ground.

nice so it says the 5100 is can go frm 0 - 2" of lift if i run thoes with my spacer will i get the 8" of lift i want or will other parts need to me moded to? (other than the block for the rear to match it) i would like 2 more inches of lift so the tires dont rub when there turned and hiting bumps, my inner fenders and fender flares are junk thanks to the side biters on the M/T mtz
