My upper control arm is maxed out. It is all the way down hitting the coil spring. There is no movement in my front suspension. It is stiff as a board basically its like driving on frame with no suspension. The only cushion i get is in my tires with low air pressure.

For the rear lift i have a 7'' of block 2'' add a leaf 2'' lift shackle

All for looks. I do not take it off road at all i wont even drive on a dirt or unsmooth driveway. And i do as best i can to avoid pot holes and other bumps on the street. Its basically a useless truck. And it wont go faster than 40mph.

The wheels come with chrome AND red inserts...using the chrome. I am planning to put some BFG Rugged Terrains on em - white letters out probly. I am also installing a 1.5" spacer kit on the front to level the truck. I'm not gonna be doing any serious off-roading with the truck (2WD) so I don't need any mudders or anything too serious. Thanks for your insight.
