DA*N man that truck is awesome!! How do you like the 4.56 gears with the 35's?
And could you also give me a measurement on ride height on yours as well? That is exactly how I want my truck to sit.

The front has 6" springs with a drop kit and the rear has 3" blocks. The front

measures 23.5" from the middle of the center caps straight up to the very

beginning lip of the fender. The rear measures 24.5" same thing. Honestly it

looks better than having a regular lift (front lift almost matches the rear in lift

height) To get these trucks level your front lift has to be double that of the

rear (4" front 2" rear or 6" front and 3" rear and so on) BUT its not good if

your usually hauling stuff or dragging around a trailer as the bed is much

easier to sag down and your truck looks like its dry-humping the pavement


And im running just 33" tires not 35" (they are actually just 32" if you measure

it but say they are 33" on the tire) The gears REALLY wake up

that 5.0 I went from 3.08 open diff to 4.56 gear-driven posi!! what a

difference! It will easily chirp both the tires at stop without brakes!

Awesome! Could you get me one last measurement from the ground to the bottom of the door? And I have 308's in the truck now but I have the 300. What gears did you end up going with (brand) I cannot decide.

I went with yukon gears from Jeff'sBroncoGraveyard and with a master rebuild kit (new bearings and races, etc) that you should change while you have your rear-end apart.

I made this you can use as reference:

very nice nick, also air bags help the rear end sag, nothing nicer then seeing a truck sitting level with a 25 ft trailer lol.
