hey tx150, truck looks sweet. Have you had any problems with ball joints and did you have to raise the rear a little more .I have 5" blocks on mine.

Thanks!!

Been running this setup for almost a year and a half with no balljoint problems, I am running a 5" block in the rear..

I swaped the 2" block out for a 5" block.. The only downfall to running the 2.5" spacer with the lift is that there is alot of bumpsteer, but that can be fixed with a steering stabilizer..

Now you got me wondering if I really want to pull the spacer. I am getting my kit installed in 2 weeks and I ordered the 5" blocks with mine, but I was gonna pull my leveling kit thinking the front would still sit a little higher than the rear if I left it in. I may just have the shop go ahead and leave it in to see what it looks like and if it doesn't look right then just have them pull it.
