I finally got some pics of my truck with the McGaughy's 2.5/4 kit installed on my '04 Lariat. Surprisingly, it doesn't look that bad with the stock wheels, but it is definitely in need of some larger wheels. Ride quality is definitely stiffer, but you can't always have it all.

I prefer a lifted 4X4, but your truck looks real good... I like it.

That's a clean look! Nice job!

Looks great!!! Any rubbing on turns???

its the stock tire, some people are running a 305 series tire with no rubbing.

Shawn,
Looks good, glad you like it...... How did the install go?

i got the same kit its awesome!

No rubbing on turns. I did have to cut the exhaust tailpipe short. I have a Magnaflow muffler that was exiting at the factory location. The axle was hitting the pipe when the rear would bottom out. The tailpipe was also a problem because the e-brake cable runs over the axle right where the tailpipe bend is. To make a long story short, the exhaust now dumps right out of the muffler under the truck. Sounds a little meaner now!! As far as the install goes, it wasn't too bad. Things always go smoother when you use the right tools

Also, there was an issue with driveline alignment that is apparently only present on the SuperCrew applications. I had to have a factory spacer and bracket removed to bring the driveshaft into alignment with the rear axle. I guess that the SuperCrews are slightly longer than the S-Cab's or something. Anyways, it rides like a champ now. Just a slight vibration when accelerating from a dead stop to about 10-15mph, but then nothing after that (it may have been there before I dropped it and I didn't notice it though). Seems like a good kit so far.

lol my exhaust is "dumped" also
