You'll only be at 4-4.5". Spindles don't require longer shocks so you can subtract that when your looking for lift shocks. I run the bilsteins, they work great!

Haha thanks man. Yeah I seen yours when I left the SM building tonight. Your front definitely looks rugged. As for shocks I'm just running some cheaper Rough Country Nitro 9000's as well as the stabilizer. The bilsteins 5100's are one of the best though, and I will be going to them eventually when these wear out. I want to say the shock you need is for like 4-6" of lift.

Very nice! Check canuckmotorsports.com if you haven't already. They had the cheapest price when I ordered mine. Just don't buy the shocks from them.

Sweet. Why'd you install the spacers before the coils? You're gonna have to do all that work all over again! lol

You should invest in a Go-light. I got one from tractor supply about 6 months ago and I love it! I'm just scared to leave it on there. Some idiot would end up stealing it.

The reason i didn't put the coils in is because the ones that i was sent for 3" lift was for the v6 and not the v8 model spring. The v6 3" spring was the same size as the 2" spring for the v8s that i already had in.. i was angry ha. So when i get the right ones, i can have fun and redo the process.........oh well lol and the light i have is from Tractor Supply and it cost about 30$! That's why i don't really care about it so much.
