I will get some before and after pics posted for you here in a little bit.

 

BEFORE



AFTER

 

Great pics!!! How much additional lift did the 1.5" autospring provide? Have you noticed any rubbing or contact between the upper control arm, spindle, and coil spring? Did it effect the ride quality (exp. rides harder now)? Did you use the 2nd generation autospring spacer with the offset?

Im pretty sure he used the 2-1/2" Autospring, however Im going to be adding the 1-1/2" Autospring in the next week or so. I'll post before/after pictures as soon as I can.

PS: Im curious to know if Im going to have problems finding a place to get my truck aligned? or should it be the same as a stock truck? I really have no clue. I had my truck re-aligned at Tire Kingdom when I had the 2.5" Daystar and 33s but not with the Rancho lift.

 

I used the 2" leveling kit just to play it safe, I didnt want to use the 2.5 because I was a little worried about any rubbing or contact between the upper control arm, spindle, and coil spring. The ride is a bit rougher.

One thing I did notice though is that my turning radius got worse.

I gained 2.5" in front, and 3" in the back.

 

I currently have the procomp non-coilover 6" kit and superlift 4" leaf packs in the rear. The additional 4" help with the Leer canopy weight. On Thursday I purchased the Fabtech 6" lift with the Dirt Logic 2.5 Coilovers. I am thinking I might use a 1.5" autospring with the Dirt Logics to even the truck out. I also might not. It all depends on how the truck levels out after I remove the ProComp lift and install the Fabtech.

 

If you have the Dirt Logics, you can +2" you know that right? I would NOT use any spacer on the DLs.

 

Thumper... thanks for the input. I understand what you mean by the spacers with the Dirt Logics. I am just so darn concerned about the truck not being level. I do know this however. The Fabtech lift has 2" rear blocks... whereas the current ProComp lift uses a 3" block. The 1" difference will help with leveling the truck.

The truck was level after the ProComp lift. I tell ya though... I purchased Leer's top of the line canopy with remote locks and everything... when that thing went on, the rear of the truck dropped 2 inches. To compensate for the 2" drop I was not going to install 5" blocks!!! Therefore, I went ahead and just purchased new 4" spring packs.

Anyways, I plan on doing a journal on this project with pics and posting them for others to see. Hopefully, I can help others. After I get the Fabtech installed and leveled, I am next installing a PA 3" body lift. I have done approx. 7 body lifts so far and am not looking forward to it. Its a lot of work.
