6 inch bds + 2 inch level pics?

Would anyone have a pic of the upper ball joint and cv shaft angle when you stack a spacer on top of the 6 inch bds kit? I have most of the front done, just thinking last minute to stack a spacer to give me that little extra to clear the 37 nitto's. thanks guys , this site ROCKS!!!!!!

Heydustin,

Thanks for the pics. I agree you don't need the spacer. I decided to go with 20x10 -12 offset Krank fuel rims. so thinking the little extra height might help. The pics you sent are with a spacer? or no? thanks again

heydustin,

I bought the zone spacers too and are installing tommorrow. What did you do for the *** end? I ordered procomp add a leaf for an extra 2 inches. I hope to have a one inch rake when completed as i often have something in the box and do not want to be *** low.
Your truck is the blue one?

thanks again

You guys don't think that's to much of an angle? I have the 6in BDS as well and would like a couple more inches, i just don't like those angles.

I don't like those angles either, don't have the lift though. Those look pretty severe, >3" level severe . . . If you have the BDS with replacement coilovers, I don't see why the angles would be that bad. The springs will settle a little, but how much?

There not gonna settle enough to make those angles look much better, the cv angle doesn't look too bad, I've definitely seen worse on this site, but those ball joints don't look to happy like that, but then again I've seen worse of that too haha. OP keep us posted on how your balljoints and cv's hold up with the kit installed on top.
