What is the height of your garage door? Curious to know if I'd fit in mine if I ever go this route.
Thanks man.

SWSmoot; how do you like the Toyo RT's? I am about to order a set of 35x12.50-20 and a 4" for my 2012 and hoping they are a good tire.

Happy with them so far after 5k miles. Handle well, not to loud, aggressive look.

He said this option was much more economical without changing the ride much or down travel significantly and if I did not want to do a hole new coilover set up at this point. I just dropped close to $4k into this truck with mods and wheels and might cool it for a while. I am really thinking I like the idea of adding 3/4" to the front in lieu of a smaller block in the rear and it resulting in a 5" lift, per say.
Any experience with the pre-loaded spacers?
Curious what the pre-loaded strut spacer really is. And is it compatible with a lifted truck? Is the only benefit height gain?

Anybody know if there is an issue with running the fox 2.0 coilovers in conjunction with the lift strut spacers? Would this improve the ride quality?

I actually spent some time on the phone with both Zone and BDS and went this route. In my situation and really just looking to gain 3/4" it was the best route. As the preload spacer is added on top of the coil itself, I beleive in compressed the spring a bit which in my case resulted in slightly better handling, without any negative effect on the ride quality.

Looks badass! I want this kit, how much would something like this run me? Do you need to add the raptor fenders? Thanks
