I know they are 20s and 37s. Im pretty sure its a 6" and what looks like just a front 2" spacer. You can tell by the extreme angles on that upper A-arm and the red looking spacer above the strut

It's a 6" Fabtech + 2.5" Daystar spacer. I'm not sure about the rear lift but its sitting on 20s wrapped in 37s.

At least make it believable if your truck has imaginary gears....

And to combine in one post.... Will 38/13.5/20s or maybe even 15.5s fit on a 8" rize?
Thanks!
Hey Tex where do ya mostly ride?

A 800 rpm window for 10mph seems like a lot

Lol i had 4.56 on the stock FX4s, i know what it feels like. I also know the stock programming sucks with a gear ratio like that and stock tires. You need a custom tune* to modify the shift points (not rpm). You can add ALOT more room for 'later' kickdowns.

Its a little stiffer but not too bad. On the road it feels fine. Id say a little more response from the road but I cant even really notice it. I notice the stiffness at most when I hit speed bumps.
