It’s a stiff smooth ride if that makes sense. If the mud grapplers didn’t hummmm I really wouldn’t think I had new tires over the pro comp x a/t’s. The rims are so easy to clean and I love the mud grapplers. I love the noise they give off, kicks the bada** factor up 10 points just because of the sound.

I believe you could put a 2" spacer on and have better results and still clear 37’s... The only reason I put the 2.5" on is because I already had it. The angles are pretty bad, anyone can see that. But it's not my daily driver and I get off-road less then 3 times a year. Yeah, it's a poser, but a sexy one...

2" pro comp AAL, I'm about 1 1/2" lower in the rear.

Thanks to all, it's just what I wanted (for now)... Some pics of the frontend angles below.




This is what it looked like when I had the 2.5" spacer on with no lift.

Ugh, I'm real close to yanking off these 35's and purchasing some 37" Swampers. This makes me want to do it next week.

Truck looks great.

Can you even let the front suspension 'droop' and turn the tire without binding the CV ?

it always makes me sick to see guys with 37's. I want them SOOOOO bad but I cant afford the lift, tires, wheels, and regearing all at once. So im probably gunna have to settle with 35's until I earn up some more money.

Yes it has some travel, the knuckle will hit the spring before the CV is maxed.

I don't have any "shake" but I do feel more bumps in the road. I believe I'll add a Fabtech steering stabilizer and see if that helps.
