Yes sir! They dont stick out any more than the rear ones do. I am going to wash it and post pics tomorrow(need a stool to reach the middle of the hood now ).
I will get pics of everything I can for you guys.

What are you doing to the rear??

Haha you best get some good pics. I need to wash mine and get some pics since I haven't gotten any since the liner went on.

I got those 2" blocks and u bolts and I found a superlift aal on craigslist for 25 I'm gonna have my dad pick up this next week. Should get me about 4-5" which will work since I'll be just getting the 3.5" coils and maybe a bl

Oh I will.. I plan on getting just about every angle possible.

I am sitting at 9" of lift right now. It was supposed to be 8.5" but I think the coils lifted it a lil more than what I thought they would. I measured out exactly 7" between tire and fender on both sides before lifting it and it was exactly 13.25 afterwards.

Were the coils 2"? I was told by rcd I couldn't use their 2" coils since my v6 doesn't weigh enough and will give me too much camber that can't be fixed even with my aftermarket camber bolts

Haha. They are wrong. I got 2.5" lift coils for a V8 which is 3" lift coils for a V6, with no aftermarket UCA's or camber bolts. My alignment is perfect and my UCA's are at great angles. Got a little Cali lean to my truck though

Yea I wasn't so sure about it when I talked to the. Bu they had said ppl have tried it. I already have a 1.5" spacer so a 2" could couldn't do too much more after seeing the ones brad got

blue ovalman you need to get us some pics of your truck and suspension cuz I've always heard that ove 2" require ucas and if you really don't then it would be good to know. ( don't care if the trucks dirty just need som pics haha)

Holy Crap, nice ass truck. I got to tell you though, those angles look dangerous on the UCA's. I have longer coils and better angles. I got to admit your truck is looking very sexy. 8/10!!!! Glad you got it done and are feeling good about it.

PM me your number and I can send you a picture of my UCA's to compare them. My phone won't upload them.

Thanks man! I ask my dad about them and he said those angles are perfectly fine so I didnt care really.. I will look into it though. I am going to get it aligned tomorrow just to make sure everything is still good and I will ask the guys at the shop too. I didnt think they were that bad though.. My ball joint is not flexing hardly at all.
