I don't believe the pulling part, if so dulley's wouldn't come from the factory with such a huge rake, or any other truck for that matter. And I'm with yall don't really care for it either, looks like something was left out of it while lifting. I always look at monster trucks for motivation and they don't cali when sittin at a stance!

yea I hear you........... on it looking like there is something missing!! When I put the 2.5 in leveling kit on the truck it put a cali lean on it until I put the add-a-leaf on the back............ I didnt think that the hole pulling thing was true either but you cant tell someone that knows all something that makes sence!! LOL

so if i were to put a 3 inch spacer on the front then add a leaf to the rear to make an all around 9 inch would that still take a toll on my cv's?

im trying to stay away from a body lift because ive heard that its a rough ride and they make lots of noise. these people didnt know from experience tho and you obviously do since you have a body lift so can you tell me some pros and cons of the body lift?

how putting thicker spacers between body and frame makes a noisy/rough ride is beyond me. Body lifts are mainly used to gain clearance for bigger tires and also to get full flex with out rubbing the body, 3 inch body is common to get the clearance. the only real con to a body lift is if you start getting into 4"+. 1 it looks really ****ty imo, 2 run into problems with wires and lines needing extended etc etc.
