Great looking truck. I've already been prepping the wife that the stock wheels and tires are just not adequate and we need to upgrade. I think I need some better excuses.

That truck Kicks ***

That's only a 6" with 35's? It looks fantastic, and looks much bigger! I wish mine looked that big.

congrats definitely one of my favorites.

Please explain how the daystar front level kit, and the 6" lift, and the 4.5" blocks all tie in.
For example, how much extra lift did you get by completely replacing the rear blocks that came with the pro comp lift kit.
And, by leaving the daystar kit in and adding the 6" kit, does that actually equal 8 to 8.5" of lift?

I left the leveling kit in with the lift. It gave me about 8" or a little more in the front. As far as the 4.5 block in the rear, we used the 3" block that came with the lift then milled and fabbed another 1.5 block and welded it to the block with the lift. Just added longer U bolts. It made up for the spacers in the front. It sits a little bulldog. I had to use the Daystar in the front because when you are rough on the suspension and it bottoms out, when the front tires were turned my tires were hitting my inner fender well. Not enough back spacing on my wheels, plus I didn't want them sticking out of the fenders.

Thanks for all the thumbs up guys.

Eric

How were your tires with just the Daystars on? My tires rub at full turn and when backing up and turning but other than that they don't seem to rub. I have the daystar and 35"s. Just wondering if I'll get a TRUE 3.5 inches more with the 6 inch lift.

Thanks.

Your rig would look great with those black headlight clusters.
