We all know how long stock shocks last so this is an option for some of us, correct?
i would think so.

If you think about it, you could get 13" out of this kit easily.

8" + spacer + 3" body
yup definatly, now what i want to do is use a set of dirtlogic coilovers and a 2.5" spacer this way i dont have to crank them up much and still get some more lift. my only question wich maybe someone can help me out here on this is, how long is the stem on the bottom of the dirtlogic coilovers, by stem i men from were it bolts to the lower controle arm to the bottom of were the coil spring sits. maybe someone could measure theres for me?

Gah! It's on stilts :P Thats an improved spacer from the other 8+" IFS kits at least, those cv angles are great and as I said before I'd throw a spacer on there, the way it tucks the 37's seems like it is more towards a 7" kit or so. Hope no offense is taken, just the way it appears.

And TX, your old pics had me thinking your rig was ugly, showed your truck in very bad light but that pic better represents your rig, gorgeous. This seems to be the generation for lifted trucks! It was hard finding a lifted truck around town a couple years ago, maybe I wasn't looking for them.
