What did you do about gearing?

That said, it seem perfectly driveable with the stock 3.73's it has. It's no speed demon but it can merge and pass ok.
marcorlando - I bought the kit off ebay (sportrailerz). The rear sits 1" lower than the front. As it sits now the top of the front wheel wells sit at 45" from the ground and the top of the rear wheel wells are at 44" (+/- .25 inches or so)
I don't think it's very noticeable, and further I intend to add a grill guard and winch combo in the future and I think the extra weight will level it out.

Question for Jrohrigj.
I also have the Rize 8 inch lift installed with rear add a leaf in the rear.
Just wondering if you have any side pics of your truck.
I had the 2 inch level kit taken out -- I hope -- but the truck still sits high in the front --
I was just wondering how level your truck is and how you got it that way.

my truck does not currently sit level, but It will be level soon hopefully.
Here are a few side pics. I'm a little over 3.5 inches short in the rear. I'm going to level it out when I have my winch mounted.
