Default Daystar 1" Budget Boost Installed!

Finally decided on which level to get after many hours reading on here and other forums....I wanted to get some lift in the front, but did not want to be "nose High" and wanted to keep a slight "Rake" I gambled on the budget boost kit from daystar and it turned out about perfect for my taste. It kept about .5 inch of rake, measures about 40" in the rear and 39.5" in the front. Also added 295/65/18 Duratracs on stock Lariat Wheels and I think for now it works pretty well! I hope this helps others that are wanting to keep a slight rake without adding anything to the rear of the truck...On to the pics!!!

Looks great. That is exactly what I will be adding. I also want a slight nose down look only because I tow lots.

Nice tires as well.

Cheers,

Great fit for the truck and the tires fill the wells perfectly.

Looks great. Did you notice any change in power with the increased tire size? That is near the exact stance that I am shooting for. Nice.

If there was any change in power, I can't really tell......the ecoboost is so smooth and powerful, it seems the same to me. I also have 3.73 gears so that helps too i am sure.........

Looks nice. What is the overall heighth measured at the top of the cab? I am interested in doing the same but still wanted it to go into the garage. I am wondering between the tires and the leveling kit if there is enough room. I have an XLT Ecoscrew that is completely stock and it does fit but is close. My garage hieght is 78 inches.

Did you do the install yourself? Truck looks great and I think you got it right with the 1" kit.

That looks great! That is the look I am after. I have Weathertech no drill mudflaps on the front, do you think there is clearance for these with your setup? I like the Duratrac tires, I have the 18" rim as well on our rig.
Thanks
