6" lift leveled out (pics)

Quick rundown. Put on the Zone 6" lift on my 2010 FX2. Had about 1.5" rake in the rear.

Added 1.5" AS level spacers. Caused all my suspension geometry to be way off, rode like crap, ball joints maxed out, upper CAs hitting spring, ALL BAD.

Took the AS spacers off to bring the front end back down to where it was with just the zone 6". Aadded 1.5" drop shackles to the rear to bring the back down and now it finally sits level, rides AMAZING, all my angles are good, everybody happy happy happy.

Cleaned it all up today and snapped some pics.

I loved your truck lowered. But I must say it looks damn good lifted too. Love that shadow grey color.

That antenna is actually polished billet and its in the shape of a rifle round. I had it custom made. It's one of my favorite parts of the truck. Subtle touches are what sets the truck apart IMO. I thought about having it PCd black but I like the way the polished ties in with my black/chrome badges, black/machined wheels, and black/machined grilles.
