How much higher does your truck sit in the front and which block do you have in the rear? Truck looks great I wish I had the BFGs.

Looks really good. Only thing you need to do it stick another leaf in the back to make it even.

Very nice though.

All the lifts I have seen make the truck even. The procomp though looks like they overcompensated for the front being lower. My 4 inch rancho is level.

not true fabtech doesn't make your truck sit level.

All lifts that I have seen

The procomp seems to be the most unlevel though. Some people like the not level look.

Nice ! My Pro-Comp 6" lift arrives tommorow. I'm doing the install this Saturday. How does it ride? As for being level - well, it looks pretty level to me. how un-level is it?

Oh, now I see... The street is not level. :-)

Lift

I'm only assuming here but here goes:

I installed the Daystar leveling kit a while back and that actually leveled the truck up pretty well - it even seemed to be a tad higher in the front. Last weekend when I installed the lift kit, I took out the 1" spacer from the Daystar kit that sits on top of the strut but didn't take out the 1.5" inch spacer INSIDE the strut. I didn't feel like taking it apart at the time and it's easy to get back out. Now, doing the math, I guess that makes the front about 7.5" up and w/the blocks that Procomp supplied in the back (3") - that makes it a difference of 4.5". I don't know how many inches the stock factory rake is but it has to be right around 2 - 2.5". Once I take out the 1.5" spacer in front, that will leave 3" difference between front and rear. It may look ok but I'm doubtful. I may change spacers in back or add a leaf or something. I know some people like the prerunner look but I'd rather have it be level or just a bit tilted to the front.

The ride is a little choppier but I don't think it's because of the suspension - I think it's the lugs on the MTRs nibbling at the dips and rises on the road. My power doesn't even seemed to have suffered that much. I notice that my RPMs are down from before (obviously) but I don't feel like it's a drastic change. I may go w/4.10s in the future (have 3.55LS now). It may also have helped that I bumped my performance curve up to high octane (Superchips) because I read on one of these forums that even w/the higher cost of the fuel, you recoup the cost and more because of the combined tune and better quality of the fuel. I'll try it for a couple of tanks and see.

So you installed the 3 inch block in the rear? What size motor do you have? I have a 5 inch block in the rear and ours sits about the same. I also have the 2.5 spacer. Come this summer i'm adding gears and add a leaf.
