Tires are 295/70-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock 17s.

With 2" Auto Spring



Without Auto Spring and with rear lift block(4x4) removed.

 

YO, thanks for posting those, i was wondering what the difference would be. Because of the size of the tires, i dont like that (and by that i mean, for my own setup). UNLESS, I would be able to go a little lower, AND put some 20" - 22" wheels. Either way.. im staying with the leveling kit for now.. Again, thanks for posting!

 

NO problem.
I'm thinking the step bars are coming off next since I don't need 'em to get my *** up in the truck now and I like the looks better without 'em.

 

Hey Red Wing, did you have to take the truck to get re-aligned after you removed the spacer?

 

Yes. I got a buddy that works at Midas and he did all the work and alignment.

 

Looks good either way.

 

Thank you, D.

 

Welp, they're off.

 

sorry bud i dont like it lower but i respect your opinion and if you feel better with it down thats a good thing

 

Gettin' even better looking without the bars... it's got a "tough yet sporty" look about it now. Kinda makes me miss my '97 reg cab shortbox...

 

Looks better without em' anyway. IMHO.

 

Thanks for the pics redwing, I was thinking of doing this exact same thing on my FX4... Now, I'm sure about it. Do you have any rubbing with the 295s now?

Nope.

 

I also like the look without the FX4 sticker...just got done pulling mine off (truck lasted a total of 5 days after I brought it home before I decided they needed to come off).

 

I took the factory step bars off my truck, then quickly put em back on. The frame rail hangs down so low and I didnt like being able to see it. When I lower the truck, Ima ditch the steps then
