Sure thing, let me know where you want measurements taken. I didn't take any before measurements.

I already bought my autospring kit 2" front and 3" rear. I went with autospring because that is what most I see on here that people are going to. Also they seem to be the best bang for the buck. Just waiting to get them installed.

My biggest problem is what tire. Still pondering on the 275 60 20 (33) or the 275 65 20 (34) KO2's. I tow a light 4800 lbs camper and don't want to affect that to much.

If I go with the 33" tire it will change my gear ratio from 3.55 to 3.43

If I go with the 34" tire it will change my gear ratio from 3.55 to 3.32

I know with the 3.5 Eco there is plenty of power to do whatever just still pondering on it.

You'll have to be specific on where you'd like the measurements taken.

I went with AS because it was one of the cheaper options for leveling the truck and had a lot of good reviews from posters on this forum. I installed Bilstein 5100s on our '13 and was happy with those. I gave up on waiting for the Bilstein's to come out for the '14/'15 so I bought these. What I've come to realize is that the AS level doesn't effect the ride quality. The Bilstein's were a bit stiffer and gave a harsher ride imo.

2.5" AS kit with OEM 4wd blocks in the rear on my 2wd with 275/60 G2's. Tried it without the blocks and didn't like the lean it had.
