Mine are raised about 2.5" from stock. You can either do it your self or Ekstensive makes a bolt in kit to raise your uppers. But you are already running spindles so I dont know exactly how much camber you have, but you need to have negative camber when fully laid out, if not then your ride height or high will cause positive camber which you really dont want.

Well doing this will solve your wiring problem...once again please discourage the dirtyness, my truck does need a bath lol.


Moving them to a new relocated hole with grommet.


Thus giving you that under your hood.


And that under your dash. It looks lower than it really is in the pic, and that the clutch pedal, its still tucked in pretty good under the dash.
