Still wanting to hear where you measured that 4" at. because its still only looking like 3" to me. Mine's 3" and no way is the white hood looking a full inch bigger
and still curious why the cab had to be pulled to lower the truck. just trying to learn

I didn't use spindles in the front, but I installed the spindles on my buddies truck, and it only takes a grinder and 2 minutes to install them. Cam/Clunk washers aren't anything special, all of 5 minutes to install. Hell, this even included installing my flip kit, BY MYSELF! I'd seriously ask them how they came to 38 hours, not to bash you like everyone else has pointed out. I love the truck, it looks sick! It makes me miss my truck! One thing I will point out, make sure you have enough clearence between the driveshaft and the cross member of the frame, otherwise you will be kicking yourself in the ***. If you hear any scraping coming from behind you, thats what it is! Anyway, enjoy the truck, looks sick!

Boyd Coddington Osiris 22x10's on 285/35/22 rubber. Sold the truck a couple of months ago, and the rims are in bad condition. Jumped a curb to avoid a wreck, and 2 of the wheels have minor curb rash. Still looking to find someone who can repair them so I can unload them.

It's all in the setup. You dont want to be running with too much, or too little air pressure in the bags. Every truck will be setup different as there are lots of different variables to consider.
Example, if I wanted to cruise "low & slow" at a cruise night, I can air out with the truck just a few inches off the ground, without rubbing or worrying about anything. This would have all four wheels tucking hard in the wheel wells, so turing is VERY limited... key word, low and slow. I can adjust it so Im just clearing everything, and ride height is still pretty damn near slammed right now.
My goal is to tuck even more, and we have already got an additional 3" more out of the rear. Front will require fire wall to be "slightly" tubbed, but its really nothing major.
