ruffn-it, she'll just have to get over it! I'm not even married yet (don't even want to think about it; still in college and enjoying the "selection" lol) and even I know that us guys have gotta be able to enjoy stuff like that once we're married!

I do have to ask, how did you get her or why was she up there in the first place?

If it's a spacer lift, you can do the Bilstein 2" lift struts to get another 2" and it's essentially the same as running a level on a stock truck as far as angles, etc. I'm sure you could stick an Autospring or something on top of the spacer too, but that seems like less of a good idea.

ok, now i see how you could fit them. Why didn't you say that in the first place. I dont want to add any unnecessary angles, I'll probably stick with what I got.

KMAC, I was with the guys when we asked her to do this, no wives or girlfriends with us. She was more than willing to pose for a pic.

BDS has a coilover lift kit, as well as a spacer lift. Both have full 6" drop subframes and provide a full 6" of lift, but the coilovers are an option.

A 2" level still maintains pretty good angles and extra wear is pretty minimal, but I definitely understand the desire to stay with "stock" angles.

I figured you were with the guys, it's just not too common of a request I don't think. Either way, it's funny and good job lol

I have 325/65R18 Terra Grapplers, and I'll hopefully upgrade soon. I put on a Rough Country 6" lift kit I love how the ride barely changed from stock.
