I'm well aware of that. Tyler went 24.5 because that leveled his truck. I haven't heard him complain or talk about any issues yet.

I cranked them to 24.5 so they would settle down to 24.25, which it did. I wouldn't go past that with the intent for it to stay that high.

Probably add 3" for the body lift and however much the new lift is I'd guess.

I would think you would just add 9" to the 24.25", if you get the 6" zone

Like an inch or two up front. It doesn't do anything out back. You can get more by going past it but you will destroy your front end.

I think 4 bolt turns equals an inch. Each turn is 1/4".
