dealer installed my level and im not sure they aligned it. im starting to notice uneven wear on my front tires. tires are tooooo expensive to start premature wear due to not being aligned.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Exhaust going on Monday...then I am just about finished...if you ever really are. I am going to just chill for a while after exhaust...but I have been toying with the idea of changing the accent color. I like the gold ok, but I think a flat or semi-flat black or dark shadow grey ( like Desert Dawg's 09) might look better on the truck.

Just went through the same dilemma. Ended up with the 295/70s and it looks so much better.

They keep the body roll down when cornering. Both sides of mine had the top bushing completely missing. I had a lot of wheel hop when cornering on a not so smooth road. Felt like the front was sliding out from underneath the truck.

Holy crap! I have the same drifting feel when on the freeway. Where do I buy these and what part of the suspension is this located.

Looks like a few select people in this thread don't consider anything that uses a rear block to be a "real suspension." I've owned various and numerous lifted 4x4s over the years and the vast majority employed blocks to lift the rear with absolutely zero consequence, undue stress, or issue/failure.

My point being that this dislike of blocks is pure opinion and largely unfounded (short of any personal negative experiences), which I feel is important to convey to people that are new to the truck world and looking to lift their vehicle. The add-a-leaf or replacement of the whole leaf stack is certainly not an end-all be-all solution for every owner and use.
