I want to thank Beltech again for following up on there problem. It took long enough but I think they have a good product. Ill upload a cell phone pic of my truck with the kit on it. But for some reason I still think my front end needs to come down a inch or two. You cant tell it that much in the pic but maybe it will grow on me. Just to remind you that I have the suggested thick spacer on the front struts. Please let me know what you think because Im wanting to put 22 inch rims on it but wanting to get it level before I do...

Dumb question... why the 5.5 in the rear?? my truck is about 1.75" higher in the rear with full tank. So a 3/5.5 would yield a 3/4" lower rear than front, right? or am i missing something.

Thanx.....I think you might be right if I swap out the shims for the thin ones......And as far as the FX2 decals go this is actualy my wifes truck and she is determined to keep them on...=(....Maybe one day Ill sweet talk her

As far as the difference in the two kits.......The rear shock absorbers are about 2 inches longer (which I commented on the first page that I thought that was the problem) and the saddles have a little bit different angle on how they sit in craddle of the rear end......Other than that it all the same.....

Anyone out there running the smaller shims on the front end???
